Review for Wuqu' Kawoq | Maya Health Alliance, Barrio Patacabaj, Tecpán, , Guatemala
I came to Wuqu Kawoq after studying International Development in college. During that time, I learned about the significant problems associated with foreign aid and international non-profit work, in particular poorly thought out projects and a lack of cultural competency. For these reasons, I have come to learn that the majority of international development organizations have very little positive impact on the communities they hope to serve. The Maya Health Alliance administrative team is well aware of the common problems associated with non-profits and have worked diligently to create a model that circumvents these shortcomings and creates a measurable impact with cultural sensitivity.
