Description
Utzkawi is a dream that arises from a family grief during the civil war in Guatemala. We are dedicated to provide inclusive and quality health care services in rural areas to underserved where is no health care structure, we foster and cultive capacity in communities to solve problems to reach the Utzilaj -a Mayan word that embraces the goodness in life-. Overtime we develop an educational platform for children without opportunities and develop a development path. We serve more than 10,000 people per year through our project and programs.
