Girls have the potential to dream big. They just need the opportunities to grow. 🌟

Here's what those opportunities look like in action:

+150 girls
7 active GAP Clubs
4 trained mentors
~40 sessions per club every year
+90% average attendance
And that growth happens one week at a time.

Girls return week after week to learn, explore their ideas, build new skills, and discover what they are capable of.

Because potential grows with opportunity, and transformation takes consistency.

A single activity can spark curiosity. But ongoing learning, a dedicated mentor, and a safe space to grow can turn that curiosity into knowledge, confidence, and leadership.

When girls have the support to keep learning and believing in themselves, their potential can grow into possibilities for their future, and their big dreams can begin to take shape. 💫

Become a and help create the opportunities that allow girls to keep growing, week after week.

What changes when a girl discovers that her ideas deserve to be heard?

GAP is about more than strengthening reading comprehension, exploring technology, or completing a curriculum. It is a safe space where girls can ask questions, make mistakes, express their ideas, and discover what they are capable of achieving.

Through group challenges, guided conversations, and the support of a trained mentor, girls practice communicating, making decisions, working with others, and taking the lead.

Confidence doesn't build overnight. It grows each time a girl raises her hand, solves a difficult problem, shares an idea, or hears someone say, “Your voice matters.”

Little by little, “I don't know if I can” becomes “I believe I can. Let's try.” ✨

And as her confidence grows, so do her dreams. The future she once thought was out of reach starts to look different. “That's not for me” becomes “maybe I can.” What she imagines for herself grows bigger, bolder, and more her own.

Finding her voice doesn't simply mean speaking louder. It means knowing that her ideas have value, her dreams are possible, and her future is hers to shape.

What can happen when a girl has two hours every week to learn, explore, and believe in herself?

Each GAP session follows a structured curriculum guided by a trained mentor. Girls strengthen their reading comprehension, explore technology and programming, practice values, and learn to communicate and work with others.

During a session, a girl might take on a reading challenge, solve a problem with her team, or share an idea she once felt afraid to express.

Mentors observe each girl's progress, adapt activities to her needs, and encourage her to keep trying when something feels difficult.

These are not isolated workshops. They are part of a continuous learning journey.

Week after week, curiosity becomes knowledge, participation becomes confidence, and new dreams begin to feel possible. ✨

What makes a healthy home last?

Not materials alone. Follow-up does.

After the initial improvements, a Wakami technician continues working alongside each family through regular home visits.

The technician monitors how each resource is being used, identifies problems before they grow, reinforces training, and helps families turn new practices into daily habits.

This close accompaniment matters because every household is different. It allows Healthy Homes to respond to real challenges, recognize progress, and protect the value of every investment.

We believe impact should not be measured only by how many homes we reach, but by how deeply change takes root in each one.

When a family develops the knowledge, confidence, and habits to sustain these improvements, the benefits can last for years, and influence the next generation. 🔄

Your monthly support helps make the home visits, personalized guidance, and continued monitoring behind every Healthy Home possible.

What can change inside 17 homes?

For approximately 68 family members in Tizamarte, practical improvements are creating meaningful changes in everyday life.

Through Healthy Homes, families have received:

16 rainwater harvesting systems
5 fuel-efficient stoves
16 organic waste containers
16 composting kits
32 shelves and 48 drawer units
Flowers, paint, and materials to create gardens and colorful planters
These resources have helped families organize their homes, make better use of limited space, and create more welcoming environments.

But the greatest impact goes beyond what was installed.

Families report improved hygiene practices and greater awareness of safe water. The program has also motivated them to care for their gardens and make additional improvements on their own initiative. Their homes are becoming visible examples of care and positive change within the community. 🌱

Healthy Homes combines practical resources with knowledge and continued support, turning home improvements into healthier habits that can last.

What is a Healthy Home?

A healthy home is more than four walls. It is where safe water, nutritious food, hygiene, and healthy habits help protect an entire family.

Healthy Homes is Wakami's holistic program, combining practical home improvements, education, and continued guidance to create lasting change.

Today, we are working alongside 17 families in Tizamarte, Chiquimula. Our goal is to bring this model to more communities where families face similar challenges.

The program combines rainwater harvesting systems, fuel-efficient stoves, composting kits, storage solutions, and gardens with training in safe water, nutrition, hygiene, leadership, and sustainability.

A single improvement can meet an immediate need. But when practical resources are combined with knowledge and continued guidance, they can transform daily life. 🏡

Healthy Homes is not simply about improving houses. It is about helping families create safer, healthier, and more dignified places to live.

Healing creates ripple effects. 🌱

When women have the opportunity to work on themselves, the impact extends far beyond the individual.

Through the Wakami Mentorship Program, women have been able to address deep emotional wounds, strengthen their confidence, and develop new tools to lead both in their families and communities.

The changes have been visible not only to them, but also to the people around them.

✨ 45 women have completed the first phase of the program, participating in four one-on-one mentorship sessions focused on emotional well-being, self-esteem, leadership, and personal development.

✨ 14 women have completed the second phase, working in small groups with a psychologist to continue their healing and growth journey.

For years, these women have invested in creating better futures for others. Now, they are giving themselves permission to grow, heal, and become the leaders they were always meant to be.

What happens when women are given the space to invest in themselves? 🌱

For years, these women invested in their families and communities — creating income, improving their homes, supporting their children, and building better futures. But they rarely had the opportunity to focus on their own well-being.

That's why the Wakami Mentorship Program was created.

In the first phase, women worked individually with a life coach to strengthen their self-esteem, emotional well-being, leadership, and personal growth. In the second phase, they came together in groups of four to work with a psychologist, creating a safe space to reflect, heal, and grow together.

As Marla, one of the participants, shared: "Now it is time to invest in ourselves and heal the wounds we carry so we can become the best version of who we are."

Because when women grow stronger, their families and communities grow stronger too. 💚

Growing up, Rebeca noticed something she never forgot: some teachers make children feel small instead of safe.

Opportunities weren't something she could take for granted. Her sisters received scholarships to study; she didn't. What got her through was her mother's steady support, even without much to give.

Today, as a mentor with Wakami's Girls Acceleration Program (GAP), Rebeca makes sure her girls have what she didn't: someone who shows up, who listens, and who makes them feel safe enough to be themselves.

"Sometimes, instead of care from a teacher, a child only gets contempt," she says. "For me, teaching means giving them a safe place where they can feel confident." It's how she wants every girl to leave her sessions — not just cared for, but empowered.

Wakami didn't just give Rebeca a job. It gave her the scholarship she'd waited her whole life for — this time, to study law, a dream she'd been saving toward on her own for years. ✨

"I hope my girls keep studying," she says, "and that things at home never stop them from finishing what they started."

Patty leads the only program like it in her community — the only space built just for girls.
She's in San José Pinula, technically a city, just outside Guatemala City. But for the girls here, opportunity can still feel out of reach.

She leads Wakami's Girls Acceleration Program there, where a group of girls meets every week to learn about self-worth, self-care, and the things school often leaves out.

"I felt a big responsibility," she says of the moment she started. "Knowing that each girl needed to know her own worth."

Patty grew up with her mother's steady support, the kind that told her to never stop growing. When Wakami needed someone trained to lead the girls' group, her mother, one of Wakami's earliest producers, knew exactly who to call.

She went on to earn her teaching degree as a mother herself, balancing a newborn, a home, and her coursework. Today, her own daughter sits in the very group she leads, learning the same lessons Patty once had to learn on her own. ✨

"I always tell them to fight for their dreams," she says. "My biggest wish is to see them graduate and become professionals."

Help us create more stories like Patty's.
