Collaborating for Impact in Guatemala

Since 2010, Rotarians have invested over $2.5 million in community projects in Guatemala.  The Rotary Club of Milwaukee has invested more than $160,000 in this work. Through partnerships with Engineers Without Borders (EWB) and Alliance for Smiles, resources from the Rotary Foundation World Fund, Rotary Districts and Clubs in Wisconsin, Guatemala and beyond, more than 20 projects have been completed. Projects include:

  • Water System Projects  Water projects bring access to potable water to Guatemalan communities.  
  • Pedestrian Bridge Projects  A pedestrian bridge in a Guatemalan community provides residents with a shorter and safer trip to gather resources and to attend work or school.       
  • Medical Missions The Alliance for Smiles, in partnership with Rotary provided free comprehensive treatment to children impacted by cleft lip and palate.
  • School Projects  Community schools make education more accessible for local children.
