Amigos Hospitalito
Atitlán (“Amigos”) is a U.S. nonprofit corporation formed to provide
financial, material and human resources in support of subsidized
healthcare services in rural Guatemala. We seek to
support Guatemalan charitable organizations that have strong roots in
their local communities and which are able to leverage our support with
a broad base of donors and volunteers.
We have determined that our mission will be best achieved by focusing our support on Hospitalito Atitlán, located in the city of Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala. Hospitalito Atitlán,
operated by the Guatemalan nonprofit organization, Asociación Pro
Salud, Educación Y Desarrollo “K’aslimaal”, meets a desperate need for
preventative, chronic and acute healthcare in the rural community of
Santiago Atitlán. As an institution, it has earned the
support over recent years of innumerable medical and non-medical
volunteers, and is well supported within Guatemala.
Amigos has awarded to K’aslimaal an operational grant to support subsidies of medical treatment at Hospitalito Atitlán, and a capital grant to support the construction of new hospital facilities. The grant awards consist of financial, organizational, technical and marketing support.
