I work in an under served area of southeastern rural Guatemala doing microeconomic development, building of village clinics and environmental conservation.
I want to join your network, and submit an application on behalf of my organization (Caye Caulker Ocean Academy, Belize, Central America) however…..
Belize is not listed as a option for indicating where our NGO works in Central America. Why not?
Hi Joni, thank you for your correspondence. Unfortunately, Belize does not fall within our geographic focus on the poorest Spanish-speaking countries in Central America. The majority of our work supports communities in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us directly at: programs@seaif.org.
I am writing from Mayatan Bilingual School in Copán Ruinas, Honduras.
Mayatan was founded by three local mothers in 1991 when they wanted their children to learn in English and Spanish so that they could excel in tourism (the heart of the local economy) or other industries. Unlike other bilingual schools in the area, which are urban, for-profit, offer no financial aid, and cost as much as U.S. schools, we non-profit and serve our diverse rural population. Mayatan runs a scholarship program that supports nearly half of our students.
Dear David,
Thank you for expressing interest in our programs in Central America. As you may have seen on our website, we are currently accepting letter of inquiries, requesting funds to support projects in Central America.
If you have any questions regarding this process, feel free to contact me.
Saludos,
Michele Frix

EntreMundos was established in 2001, with our goal being to assist local NGOs become self-sufficient and more effective in their work. We began working with a handful local organisations and have since increased the number of partner organisations to over 220. These civil society organisations, primarily in the Western Highlands of Guatemala, range from small community organisations to mid-size NGOs and address issues such as education, health, as well as the human rights of women and indigenous populations.
The main focus of our work is providing leadership development and capacity building training to local grassroots NGOs, cooperatives and community groups to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the vital development initiatives they are implementing in their communities and in doing so bring about genuine sustainable development and lasting change in some of the poorest communities in Guatemala.
Along with our capacity building programmes, we also operate a volunteer placement programme, connecting local and international volunteers with over 120 different volunteer opportunities in the region and publish a 32 page free-of-charge bi-monthly, bilingual magazine (in Spanish and English) about development and human rights issues in Guatemala. In addition, we offer a space for organisations, communities, volunteers and citizens concerned with development and human rights in Guatemala.
We would like to thank the Seattle International Foundation for this opportunity to further expand our development network in the pursuit of our shared goals.
One Equal Heart Foundation is excited to join a network of individuals and organizations committed to supporting transformational changes in the root causes and effects of poverty in Central America. While Chiapas, Mexico is not considered to be geographically a part of Central America, the Tseltal Maya communities with whom we work are part of the “el Mundo Maya” and therefore have much in common with the peoples of Central America. We have much to learn from the indigenous peoples and their approach to living in harmony with each other and the Earth.
