Lighting up people’s homes (literally)
Project Spotlight: Electricity for the Perez Family’s New Home
Guatemala is a land of stunning beauty, rich culture, and vibrant communities, but it's also a place where many families struggle to access basic necessities such as education, healthcare, and basic housing needs. In May 2022, the dream of MayoGuatemala Foundation was inspired by the contribution of some people helping a family to purchase all of the materials needed for the Perez family (to the left) to install electricity in their new home.

Sound of hope
Project Spotlight: Hearing Aids for Kimberly and Cristofer
Kimberly and Crisfoter lived in a world of silence due to being hard of hearing. Thanks to the intervention of the joint effort between the Carmelite Missionaries, Dr. Byron Villeda, and supporters of the dream of MayoGuatemala Foundation, Kimberly and Cristofer had the opportunity to begin the process to be able to have some hearing. Dr. Byron Villeda gave them free medical exams and in January 2023, they received free hearing aids donated by good people.
