Guatemala

A better future for people at risk of exclusion

Learn about the projects and programs that Fundación MAPFRE has in Guatemala

Guatemala, whose name in Nahuatl means “place of many trees”, is an eminently rural country, very attached to the indigenous culture and the Mayan heritage of its population. Between 1960 and 1996 it suffered a long civil war, known as the Internal Armed Conflict, which left more than 200,000 victims. We support projects that benefit the Guatemalan society.

Having a dream of improving the lives of an entire community in Guatemala

Current Project

400 people benefit from the Futuro Vivo Association Development Program, and particularly young people and women. This initiative, which has education as its fundamental pillar but nonetheless takes into account all of the community’s needs, seeks to bring about the change which enables them to offer young people a better future and to train change leaders in this marginalized neighborhood in Guatemala City.
