The story.

For five years, Guatemala Próspera has invested in strategic local development of a small rural community north of Chimaltenango, Guatemala. Combining a values-based leadership curriculum, entreprenuership training, and traditional avenues of local development, we've equipped this community to reach new heights.

The Projects in El Rosario

Leadership Roundtables

We've facilitated over 20 leadership roundtables based on the time-tested John Maxwell leadership curriculum.

Community Center

We've built a new community center that serves principally as a clinic but also as a gathering place for the community.

Uno más Uno

We're teaching entrepreuneurship to the women of the village so that they can develop economic sustainability.

Savings Boxes

To empower the women of the community to start saving money, we implemented a savings boxes program that the women run themslves.

Community Center opens!

After several months of construction, the new community center has opened. This complex serves first and foremost as a new medical clinic, offering sufficient space and equipment to serve the community with vital medical services. But it also offers a space for the community to come together in collaboration, a place where community and civic bonds can be formed and leveraged for community betterment.

A vision for the future.

We have a vision for continued development and sustainability in this community. As we teach and equip the women of the community to be entreprenuers, we want to provide a platform for them to sell their products to diverse audiences. We're looking for partners in this, partners who want to contribute financially, with tangible items, or with their time and expertise.
