Mission Opportunities in Guatemala

TBD - 2024

For over 27 years, the Highland Support Project (501c3) based in Richmond,has worked with indigenous Maya women to build resilience and create opportunities. Our group typically builds stoves during the summer, however, if you have an interest in health, midwifery, childhood education, or art there are other opportunities as well.   Contact for information on our next trip this summer to build stoves along side the Mayan women in the Guatemalan Highlands.
