Update: YOU DID IT! 

We are absolutely thrilled to share this very exciting news with you: we have reached our goal and raised the funds needed to open our 1st stationary clinic in Guatemala!

You did it! Thanks you so much for your support!
Thanks to the generosity of 70 contributors to our Indiegogo campaign, numerous mail donations we received and hundreds of social media shares, we raised over $35,000, which was matched by one of our long-time donors. We look forward to seeing you in Antigua so you can see for yourself the impact your support has made! 

Thank you. We couldn't have done it without you!
Your support will change lives.


Why Guatemalan mothers need your help?

Guatemala struggles with exceptionally high levels of inequality and poverty. The fertility rate of 3.8 children per woman (4.6 in indigenous communities) is the highest in Latin America and the Caribbean. 75% of the indigenous population lives in poverty, which means they survive on less than $2 a day. 

Maternal and infant death, teenage pregnancy, chronic malnutrition and gender inequality rates in Guatemala are extremely alarming and among the highest in the world. 

Even though Guatemalan women report their ideal number of children to be 2 and many wish to delay or space their pregnancies, poor access to health services and information means they have more children than they can provide for, are unable to finish primary school, and face serious health risks. You can help us change this!

Our work

Since 2001, WINGS has worked directly with marginalized and indigenous communities, offering mobile clinics and providing reproductive health education and services, to give women the tools they need to have control of their lives and to make conscience decisions about their future. 

 

We are now raising funds to establish our first permanent clinic in Antigua Guatemala, which will offer family planning information, contraceptive methods, and cervical cancer screening and treatment.

Make a contribution in the name of a special mother you'd like to honor and help us build the clinic to change Guatemalan mother's lives!


Double your impact! 

Help 2x as many mothers with a single donation!

We are very excited to share this incredibly generous offer from one of our long-time donors: every donation you make will be matched up to the amount of $35,000! This means that no matter what contribution you make, your impact will be doubled! 

Check the "Perks" section to see the difference your contribution will make.

The Impact

We're expecting to provide a total of 1,436 patients with a variety of services in the first year of the operation of the stationary clinic in Antigua.


Visit us in Guatemala and meet the mothers whose lives you're changing!

Independently of the amount of contribution you make, we are inviting you to visit our clinic in Guatemala and see the impact you're making for yourself!

For those donate who $1,000 or more, we would like to take you on a trip to Sololá to meet our voluntary promoters and learn about their work in the communities.
