WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT FUNDAMAYA
Dr. Edwin-Nikko R. Kabigting
Fundamaya is an excellent organization. Our students learned about the many facets of healthcare while providing service to the community in Panajachel. We observed that all programs that were provided benefited the residents of the community directly. The leadership and staff go above and beyond to see that the needs of all individuals in their care are met while upholding their culture and the inherent dignity of the individuals they encounter.
Amber Parker
FundaMaya is a wonderful organization! We have been working with them for the past few years and appreciate their honesty and all the help they give to the community: sending kids to school; a great elderly care program that offers food and medical care; caring for and helping the community of Panajachel.
Lois Reimer
Have volunteered and sponsored through this organization for 5 years. The community they serve is represented on their board and their staff which makes them uniquely aware of the needs of the community and ensures respect not only for the individual but for the culture. Very honoured to play a small part in this organization.
Anne Amedem
An excellent organization doing tangible work to help individuals and community become self-sustaining. They operate with respect for the individuals they sponsor. They give regular updates on individuals and facilitate communication between donors and sponsors. I have personally reached out with specific questions and have always gotten prompt answers. Highly recommend this organization if you want to make a difference in someone’s life.
It’s been such a pleasure to contribute to the support this organization gives in Guatemala. They are so responsive and meet real needs. Specific needs. Helping individuals, families, medical, physical, household and academic needs so that people can live better lives. Helping ease burdens in their community. It’s so cool to be able to see photos of my sponsored students holding letters I’ve just emailed and in a short while have a response.It’s been such a pleasure to contribute to the support this organization gives in Guatemala.
