What Makes You The Proudest About Your Organization?
Humanity First USA operates a school in Alotenango, Guatemala, one of our nine schools worldwide, serving areas where children traditionally have very few educational opportunities. The school opened its doors in 2015 and is currently educating more than 280 students of the impoverished communities of Alotenango.
In 2018, the Nasir Hospital opened its doors, providing medical services to under-served communities in need. Nasir Hospital is providing equitable access to health care for Guatemalans. The establishment of this hospital has allowed Humanity First to serve the local Guatemalan communities’ short-term and long-term health care needs.
The hospital structure houses a 22-bed inpatient unit adjacent to a surgical zone, including a maternal and prenatal ward.
