Ütz B'ey Guatemala, formerly known as Project Somos.
Ütz B’ey means The Right Path in Kaqchikel, the Mayan language spoken in Aldea Chivarabal - the community we’ve called home since 2009. Our new name was a gift from this community, a reflection of our shared vision: to guide children toward their right path in life. At Ütz B’ey Guatemala, we guide children onto the right path, into adulthood an
d to achieve their dreams. From age four to 24, we provide free, quality education, nutritious meals from our onsite organic farm, a space to dream, and ultimately, career guidance and job opportunities. Our programs are shaped by the communities themselves, building strong, lasting bonds between families, local leaders, and us. We equip children and families by fostering safe, loving communities where they can access quality education, nutrition, health, and economic opportunities. We imagine a Guatemala where every child grows up healthy, safe, and loved, within strong communities that nourish their potential and expand their future.
