Get Social
Facebook"After nine months of participating in trainings led by ABPD, I felt ready to lead them myself. When I led my first training I felt very nervous, but as time passed it became something that I liked and now I do it with a lot of joy and excitement.
"Becoming a health promotor has allowed me to set a great example to my four year old daughter. She was very shy before and now is more sociable and communicative. My husband has also been a great help to me, since he motivates me to continue being a leader for my group."
- Francisca Gonzales Batz, Xesajcap II, Santa Apolonia
Empowerment is the cornerstone of our approach to grassroots development - it's what makes our two-year programs sustainable over the long term. When a community has a sense of power over its future, they can continue to address their own needs long after our sister organization in Guatemala, ABPD, has moved on to train others.
