OUR METHODOLOGY
Curamericas Guatemala uses a proven community-based model to provide maternal and child health care in remote Indigenous communities. This includes: (1) collecting and using local data through home visits and community mapping to guide health priorities and measure impact; (2) organizing women's groups that train local mothers to teach their neighbors about healthy practices and female empowerment; and (3) operating community-built Rural Maternity Homes staffed by trained, bilingual health personnel who provide respectful and culturally appropriate care 24/7.
OUR HISTORY
Since its founding in 2001, Curamericas Guatemala has worked in partnership with community and local government leaders to provide respectful and culturally appropriate care through its network of Rural Maternity Homes and community health programs. Its work builds on decades of collaboration and innovation to ensure that women and children in Indigenous communities receive the care they need before, during, and after pregnancy.
