Summary

Help families in Guatemala adapt to climate change through permaculture and family gardens, and train women in the Dominican Republic to serve as the first line of health care in their communities. In Guatemala, GuateBuena helps families grow food, conserve water, restore soil, and learn sustainable farming practices. In the Dominican Republic, Project Hearts trains women in Baitoa to become community health leaders who teach neighbors about disease prevention, sanitation, and healthy living.

Challenge

Families in Guatemala face irregular rainfall, water shortages, degraded soil, and rising pressure on food production. In Baitoa, Dominican Republic, communities also need accessible health education on safe water, sanitation, and disease prevention. Without funding for tools, training, and local instructors, families and emerging women leaders in both countries have fewer opportunities to build healthier, more resilient communities.

Solution

GuateBuena will expand its ecological learning area with family gardens, composting, water-saving practices, and hands-on workshops. Project Hearts will train women as Community Health Leaders who share practical health lessons with neighbors and families. Donations will help cover training materials, garden supplies, instruction, and other program needs across both partners.

Long-Term Impact

Families in Guatemala will gain skills to grow food, conserve water, and care for the land, with practices they can repeat at home. In Baitoa, trained women will continue sharing health knowledge beyond their classrooms, helping neighbors prevent illness and make informed choices. By investing in both programs, donors help build community skills and local leadership that can continue benefiting families for years.
