Mil Milagros works in Guatemala’s western highlands to discover leaders, develop their potential, and deliver results in rural Guatemala.
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.
In each community, we identify potential mother, student, and teacher leaders. Then, we develop their potential by training them to implement our early childhood development, nutrition, health/hygiene, and education programs in their 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 and children who are ready to lead their communities to brighter futures. Are you ready to change lives with us?

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.
