Guatemala Family Development is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to improve health, education, and opportunity for children and families in Guatemala. Its vision is for communities to thrive through better health, education, and access to opportunity, with a focus on indigenous and rural families facing poverty, malnutrition, and limited access to safe water.

The organization supports a range of programs, including cultivating gardens, humanitarian relief, education and scholarships, nourishing food, construction, clean drinking water, and medical missions. Its medical teams have traveled for 15 years to remote villages in the Verapaz region, working with local partner Fundenor to provide medical, pediatric, dental, vision, and OB/GYN care, as well as health education. The organization reports that its clinics treat about 1,000 patients on average.

Its work also includes distributing water filters, supporting girls through scholarships and life-skills education, and helping malnourished children through food, health support, and parent education. Guatemala Family Development invites supporters to donate once or monthly, and states that gifts go directly to Guatemala.
