Fight Rising Malnutrition in Rural Guatemala

Dear Friends,

We know that people around the world have diverse medical needs-- including indigenous Guatemalans that live in rural areas of this small Central American country.

As an organization we believe that all people deserve access to world class health care. And this health care begins with the youngest of our patients. Children in rural Guatemala are in need of basic nutrition care. Wuqu' Kawoq is recognized as a leader in the field of nutrition. Our malnuturion programs are among the most thoughtful in Guatemala. We help other organizations in Guatemala to implement their own programs, and we conduct important nutrition research.

In addition to our effective nutrition programs, we have pioneered an innovative referral system for patients living with complex disease in rural Guatemala. We successfully treat congenital heart disease, inborn errors of metabolism, end-stage kidney disease, complex surgical cases, and advanced cancers. Our team of case managers speak Mayan languages and whatever it takes to overcome the barriers to health care for our indigenous patients.

The important and crucial work we accomplish everyday would not be possible without support from people like you. And today we are writing to say Thank you. Thank you for your gift of reducing malnutrition in rural Guatemala. Thank you for allowing our staff to collaborate with other Guatemala-based organizations to ensure every Guatemalan has equal access to important and inovative malnutrion programming. Thank you for supporting our Mayan speaking staff to help overcome difficult barriers to health care in Guatemala. Thank you.

Respectfully and with Gratitude,

The Wuqu' Kawoq | Maya Health Alliance Team
