Bringing Healthcare to Rural Communities
In conjunction with the American Red Cross organization, CHOICE provided medical support after the 2020 hurricanes.
Guatemala LIFE: A Flagship Program
When launching this initiative, CHOICE needed to pivot in the face of natural disasters. Though challenging, this brought stronger relationships.
Using Economic Development for Dreams
For rural communities in Atlta Verapaz, CHOICE Humanitarian is helping provide hope where there is very little right now so they can change the way they live.
THIS MONTH'S CULTURE FACT
Cultural exchange is a core part of CHOICE's philosophy. When people of different backgrounds come together to exchange ideas, experiences, perspectives, and knowledge, the world becomes a more connected place. These authentic and meaningful interactions can generate empathy and foster open-mindedness.

Indigenous Cultures
Holy Week
Guatemala is a culturally rich country, divided up into “departments”.
In the departments of Alta Verapaz where CHOICE Humanitarian works, the majority of inhabitants are of indigenous origin, comprised of the Q'eqchi', Poqomchi' and Achi ethnic groups.
There, they have patron saint festivities that include theatrical dances, markets, food, games and religious ceremonies.
