Eradicating Guatemala’s poverty through strategies based on equality, honesty, freedom, excellence, respect for dignity and democracy.
We are a privately-owned voluntary foundation seeking to promote the development of low-income areas in the Republic of Guatemala, especially for those people who live in the rural areas of the highlands, by innovative projects avoiding patriarchy to guarantee
a better living standard. All of this under a sustainable development framework with absolute respect for human dignity, culture and traditions.
Their Roots
The “Fundación para el Desarrollo Integral de Programas Socioeconómicos” (Foundation for the Integral Development of Socioeconomic Programs) FUNDAP was established on September 22, 1981, as a response to people and communities with scarce economic resources. FUNDAP bases its action on the motto “Development with Dignity”, which includes respect for the human person, its culture and traditions, and participates actively in the fight against poverty.
Where they work
At this moment, FUNDAP´s working region encompasses the Central Highlands, North and South West areas of Guatemala.
In its more than 35 years of existence, FUNDAP has been successfully directing its actions and validating its development models, thanks to the willingness to work and collaboration of its beneficiaries and the commitment of its staff, currently 646 collaborators, and the support of more than 30 National and International organizations that have trusted its vision.
