Aldea Advancing Local Development Thur Empowerment And Action Inc

Advancing local development through empowerment and action supports our partners in guatemala in planning and implementing community development programs. We work to raise awareness in the u.s. On the health needs in rural guatemala and the importance of supporting communities to address them. Through tours and other outreach initiatives, we educate donors and others on the effectiveness of initiatives like preventing infectious diseases by building potable water systems that bring running water to communities and homes; preventing respiratory illnesses, burns, and deforestation by constructing efficient, vented stoves; improving sanitary conditions by constructing gray water filters and latrines; supporting families in providing good nutrition to their children during the first 1,000 days of life through education and projects like family gardens and dairy goats; providing family planning methods and information; and training women, youth, men, and local authorities in leadership development and empowerment so they can continue to improve their health and well-being after our work together is finished.
