This site was created to inform supporters of Ayudamos of the work that is being undertaken in Guatemala and specifically in our project areas.

Guatemala is a land of paradoxes, exquisite natural beauty mirrored by extreme poverty and the aftermath of war and extremes of nature. The author, W. George Lovell aptly describes it as, "A Beauty That Hurts". The need in Guatemala is pressing. The further one travels away from the capital, Guatemala City, the more evident is the tragedy of the poor and disenfranchised. The official language of Guatemala is Spanish; however, fully half the 11,000,000 plus population are indigenous people who speak a variety of Mayan languages.

There is minimal education available for these proud people and due to the gripping poverty; malnutrition is a leading cause of death amongst children. There were many widows and orphans left in the savage aftermath of the civil conflict in Guatemala. These same people now try to eke out an existence without education, government inversion or any means of support.

The Ayudamos Foundation is committed to co-creating sustainable futures for these remarkable people….one family at a time.
