Help Us Provide Healthcare in the Jungle
Since building its 24-hour clinic in the jungle on the Río Dulce, Ak' Tenamit's health program has grown exponentially. The organization is now the primary healthcare provider for almost 26,000 people in 125 remote villages, most of which had never seen a doctor before Ak' Tenamit arrived.

The project's health resources are the stretched thin - the annual health budget works out less than $15 per person per year - but because Ak' Tenamit uses village health promoters, volunteer nurses and doctors, and either donated medicines, or government medicines purchased at cost, our health team accomplishes miracles with meager funds. The use of health education in the Q'eqchi language and preventative medicine in areas such as women's health, prenatal care, and HIV/AIDS awareness further enhance the program's remarkable cost effectiveness. This is extremely important considering the enormous need in the area's poor indigenous villages and the Guatemalan government's historic neglect of the region.

Please help us with the vital task by becoming a "Healthcare Partner" for just $120 per year, or by making a more substantial donation to out medical program. You can help us save lives!
