Our Mission, Vision
& what gets us there!
We are writing history
&
turning dreams into reality:
Mission
Our mission is more than just a task; it is our passion. We wholeheartedly dedicate ourselves to helping women and children in need, working 100% voluntarily. We support them with vital provisions of food and medical care, providing access to education, and establishing a daycare as a safe haven and developmental space.
Vision
Our vision is to create opportunities;
Opportunities for women to integrate into the workforce, attain financial independence, and equip them with the necessary tools to achieve sustainable change for themselves and their families. Simultaneously, we aim to provide their children with a safe and inspiring space for education and development.
Values that guide us all the way to the happy endings!
Compassion
Every one of our projects is built on compassion. It is our cornerstone, accompanying us from the beginning to the end of our endeavors. We aim to assist those in need, fostering a positive transformation in their life stories and granting them a more hopeful future.
Fairness
We support those in need in education, healthcare, and their basic necessities. Each individual has the right and entitlement to a better and more fulfilling life.
Knowledge
We strive for the construction and improvement of the education system, especially for children and adolescents. They hold the future in their hands, and education plays a crucial role, ultimately being the key to peace.
Connection Two Worlds
International encounters are a prerequisite for personal growth and a better understanding of our mysterious world. We aim to bring together two entirely different cultures, fostering an appreciation and love for diverse personalities.
Cultural Exchange
Not only do those in need in Guatemala benefit, but volunteers like ourselves also gain countless experiences and impressions that transform and enrich our personal and professional lives.
