Mil Milagros works in rural Guatemala to discover women leaders, develop their potential, and deliver results.
In each community, we identify potential women leaders. Then, we develop their potential by training them to implement our early childhood development, health, and education programs in schools and communities.
By equipping them with resources and knowledge, these leaders are tackling some of the biggest problems facing rural Guatemala - malnutrition, low graduation rates, and illness due to poor hygiene habits. There are more women who are ready to lead their communities to brighter futures.
Imagine yourself as a woman in rural Guatemala.
You, like most Indigenous Maya women, never had the chance to finish primary school. You work hard caring for your children, but no one sees your effort. When you speak, racism and misogyny cause you to be ignored.
Now imagine that you're invited to a space where people listen to you. Here, they hear your struggles and help you discover your voice. You share what you are learning with your family and community. This is how leaders are made.

The causes and effects of poverty are multidimensional and require a comprehensive approach. As part of our approach, we build strategic alliances with other organizations to address needs in our partner communities that are outside our immediate purview, including access to water, health care, and school and home construction.
