It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.

A Look Inside guatemala
Mundo Exchange operates in remote Chajul, Quiche, found in the Northwestern mountains of Guatemala.
Guatemala’s recently dark past has led to a country of instability and violence, as well as extreme gaps between the rich and the poor. With over half the country living under the poverty line, many people can hardly afford to survive much less get an education to better their situation. Poverty is worse within the Indigenous Maya communities. Despite this, the Maya Ixil are incredibly kind people, eager to smile and passionate to share their culture with you. Help us provide opportunities for those who deserve to have a fair chance in bettering the future for themselves and their communities.
