More about this organization
Mission
Our mission Project Salud y Paz (health and peace) is a ministry of health and healing for the people of God in need who live in Guatemala. It is a joint project of 3 entities: Iglesia Metodista Nacional Primitiva de Guatemala, The United Methodist Church, and International Hands in Service (a U.S. based 501c3 nonprofit corporation).
About
International Hands in Service operates four separate medical/dental clinics in Guatemala serving the indigenous Maya. We provide medical, dental, laboratory and optometric services. In addition, we coordinate and support volunteer clinician efforts to set up temporary rural clinics. The organization also opened a school for preschool through first grade for Camanchaj children. The goal of the program is to increase the children's chances of success in the public school system with high quality, culturally sensitive preschool curriculum and to promote healthy development by providing nutritious meals, teaching healthy habits (such as hand washing and teeth brushing), and offering medical and dental care.
