Healthy Mothers celebrate Independence Day

By Jami Smith | CEO

Dear Donors,

We are excited to provide you with an update on the Healthy Mothers Program in Guatemala. Your generous support has enabled us to make remarkable progress in enhancing maternal and child health in our communities. This report highlights our recent initiatives, including our collaboration with Isabel from TRL and our Independence Day celebration.

Program Overview

The Healthy Mothers Program is dedicated to improving the health of the whole family by educating mothers on health and nutrition, and enhancing access to essential resources. This year, we have expanded our efforts to include financial literacy and water safety, vital components for community health.

Key Achievements

Collaboration with TRL:
- We partnered with Isabel from TRL to conduct workshops on microsavings and water filtration systems. Isabel educated all the women about managing finances and saving for their families' future needs.
- The water filtration sessions helped participants understand the importance of clean water, with many families committing to implement filtration systems at home. This initiative not only improves health outcomes but also empowers women to take control of their household resources.
Independence Day Celebration:
- To foster community spirit and celebrate Guatemala's Independence Day, we organized a group hike to the Mirador in San Juan. This event brought together over 25 participants, including mothers and children.
- The hike served as a bonding experience and an opportunity to promote physical activity and wellness. Participants shared stories, enjoyed traditional foods, and celebrated their heritage, strengthening community ties.
Continued Health Education:
- Our regular workshops on maternal health, nutrition, and exercise have reached over 40 women this year. We continue to provide resources in local languages to ensure accessibility and cultural competence.
- The feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing increased confidence in caring for their health and that of their children.

Conclusion

Your ongoing support is crucial for the Healthy Mothers Program's success. Together, we are creating a lasting impact on the lives of mothers and children in Guatemala. We are grateful for your commitment and look forward to sharing more progress in the future.

Thank you for being an essential part of this journey.

Warm regards,

Jami and the team at Mayanza
