Our Partners
Inter-American Health Alliance
The Inter-American Health Alliance (IAHA) is a U.S.-based 501(c) 3 non-profit that was started by volunteers to support development operations in Guatemala. IAHA acts as EntreMundos’ US fiscal sponsor and takes no percentage of grants processed through them for this service.
IAHA also manages individual donations made through our website. It is entirely volunteer-run, which means that the maximum amount of funds raised go directly to EntreMundos in Guatemala. IAHA's status as a tax-exempt organisation also allows U.S. donors to receive a tax discount on their donation to EntreMundos.
IAHA works closely with other charitable U.S.-based groups and universities to develop sustainable relationships that can help support the work of EntreMundos.
The International Foundation
The International Foundation, established in 1948, helps people of the developing world in their endeavours to solve some of their problems, to attain a better standard of living and to obtain a reasonable degree of self-sufficiency.
In 2009 The International Foundation funded a programme comprised of a series of workshops on the Setting-Up of Cooperatives for two rural communities here in the Western Highlands as well as our inaugural Eco-Tourism Workshop Series for community groups from all over the region seeking more sustainable solutions to their local development problems.
Partners in Solidarity
Partners in Solidarity is the international computer placement programme of Next Step Recycling, a non-profit organisation based out of Eugene, Oregon. Their major project is in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala where they work to bring computers and technical education to the area's rural schools and NGOs.
In August 2007, EntreMundos received a donation of 10 computers from Partners in Solidarity. These 10 computers marked the start of the realisation of the Resource and Training Centre.
Through this Centre, EntreMundos is able to provide non-governmental organisations and community associations in Western Guatemala with a greater access to a wealth of resources and information and can better support their organisational development, with a particular focus on building their information technology skills.
