My Nonprofit Reviews

First learning about Wuku'Kawoq in its infancy, I have watched it grow from a tiny grassroots organization with minimal infrastructure, into a thriving force for the delivery of healthcare to the rural poor of Guatemala. One of the main reasons for its continuing growth, I believe, was the realization that, although Guaemala is considered a Hispanic country, many of their patients spoke very little Spanish. Its physicians and field workers therefore undertook the astounding feat of learning several Maya languages, in order to more effectively deliver their services. The positive impact it has had in just a few short years, is underscored by Wuqu' Kawoq's efforts to treat severe malnutrition there being featured as part of a special broadcast of "20/20" that kicked off ABC's year-long global health care campaign called "Be the Change: Save a Life.”
