My Nonprofit Reviews

Guate

I have been volunteering with AIR Guatemala for over 10 years, planting hundreds of trees and building efficient stoves in Mayan communities.
AIR Guatemala accomplishes it’s mission by providing opportunities for self-selected Mayan communities to commit to a 5 year program which provides local empowerment that leads healthier and more sustainable lives. It is truly inspiring to be part of a mission that has both a local and a global impact! AIR’s communities have planted over 7 million trees and built over 800 stoves! The number lives improved through better health and sustainable practices is countless!

This organization is extremely efficiently run with a mission that is sustainable and empowering. Planting trees for reforestation in Guatemala is the goal, but the organization accomplishes this by empowering villagers and families to create tree nurseries, develop sustainable agri-forestry, plant trees, use environmenmentally designed fuel efficient stoves, teach the curriculum in the schools, and to create microbusinesses based on their own successful ingenuity. AIR has produced and planted nearly 5 million trees! The future of our universe depends upon this kind of enhancing natural resources. AIR is part of that future!
