My Nonprofit Reviews

A group of us from Iowa spent 2 weeks with Mission Guatemala in January 2015. We were very impressed with the organization, its mission and goals, the amount of work that is accomplished, the basic services provided to the village people and the efficiency with which all is completed on few monetary resources! The medical clinic staffed by Guatemalan doctors, dentists, and pharmacists meets the needs of families who do not have the opportunity or resources to get those services. The meals and school supplies given to poor children in the area are meeting basic needs of nutrition and education! We saw the smiles on the faces of children when they received the school bags.

Mission Guatemala appears to be always looking for ways to improve the lives and opportunities of the disadvantaged. For instance, I helped teach sewing to women with the hope that they will make things to sell to earn some income as well as be able to teach others to sew. The organization is planning to develop a technical training program to teach skills that can be used in the work force. And they're going to open an optometry clinic.

I was very impressed with the staff, their caring attitudes, and their commitment to improving the lives of the poor in the area. I would definitely like to return and be involved with their program again. It is well organized! Bev Kruempel
