WellKind Guatemala ONG has been working to solve the environmental and economic issues of the Tzununa valley on Lake Atitlan since 2019. We work with local community leaders and youth organizations to stimulate community-led decision making with all of our programs. WellKind at its core is a grassroots NGO that has several different programs fitting into three major focuses: Ecology, Economy, and Education.

By helping to create small businesses and providing opportunities, we hope to stimulate the economy and empower locals to be entrepreneurs and lead the change in their community.
