Thanks to your continued generosity, the Healthy Mothers Program has expanded and is thriving in 5 communities across Santiago, in rural Guatemala. Your support is helping women gain the knowledge, strength, and sisterhood they need to lead healthier lives for themselves and their families.
Impact at a Glance
Over 75 women will have completed the workshops and education program this year.
Voices from the Community
“Before this program, I didn’t know how to talk to my daughters about their bodies or changes they go through. Now, I share what I’ve learned with them and with other women in my community.”
— Rosa, 38, mother of four
“I used to feel tired all the time, like I couldn’t keep up with the house or my children. Now, I feel stronger. I understand what foods help my body, and I can do my chores without pain in my back or legs.”
— Juanita, 27, program participant
“The best part is the group of women I’ve met. We talk not just about health, but about everything in life. We help each other.”
— Maria, 33, mother and community leader
Growing Together
We’ve learned that empowering one woman creates ripples throughout the whole community. When women are equipped with knowledge about reproductive health, nutrition disease prevention and exercise, they become leaders in their homes and advocates among their peers.
Many of our previous participants have contiued to participate in our exercise program after they have graduated from the Healthy Mothers program!
Thank You
None of this would be possible without you. Your donations help fund the health educators, training materials, and follow-up support that make lasting change possible. Together, we’re building healthier futures for mothers, daughters, and communities.
With gratitude,
The Team at Mayanza
