Frequently Asked Questions
| Q: | What is the Guatemalan Project?
|
| A: | The Guatemalan Project is a private, non-profit, 501(C)(3) organization established in response to Hurricane Mitch devastation of the Eastern region of Guatemala in December 18, 1999. After providing emergency relief to 150 families, it was identified by the families the need to begin to promote employment, skills training, education, and health services. The Guatemalan Project began the work of community organizing. The specific principle followed by the project is that of mutual responsibility; that is, the international community does its social responsibility by proving funds for building an infrastructure, and the community does its individual responsibility by providing all manual labor for the building and the maintenance of the projects.
