medical supplies are often needed due to scarcity of resources. The beneficiaries will be the rural Palajunoj Valley in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala through the local non-profit organization Primeros Pasos ("First Steps") in both its primary care clinic and mobile clinics that travel to the most isolated communities. The region experiences disparities in health outcomes and healthcare access, including high rates of child malnutrition and chronic poverty. Primeros Pasos serves as the only source of reliable health care services for these communities.
Primeros Pasos and its clinical staff has been delivering a variety of primary medical care, women's health, dental, and nutritional services to approximately 500 Maya-indigenous child and adult patients. The grant funds would cover the costs of medical/dental supplies.
