Pueblo A Pueblo

What Pueblo A Pueblo does

Pueblo a Pueblo is a nonprofit organization founded in 2001 and headquartered in the indigenous Tz'utujil community of Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala, where it operates community-led programs in maternal and child health, education, and sustainable livelihoods. Its three core programs are: a Maternal and Child Health program running since 2001 that provides free medical care, workshops, and home visits to pregnant women and young children; an Education program that supplies scholarships, school materials, tutoring, and after-school workshops from primary school through university; and a Sustainable Livelihoods program centered on beekeeping training and environmental conservation. A 2025 addition, the Community Learning Center for Sustainable Agriculture, teaches organic farming and ancestral knowledge of native medicinal plants through monthly workshops and a community garden.

The organization has no proprietary technology stack; its digital footprint is a Squarespace-built website plus Instagram and Facebook accounts used for awareness, storytelling, and donor cultivation. Its economic model is donation-driven: an independent entity sponsored by Natik, which administers incoming charitable contributions and provides a U.S. mailing address in Fort Lauderdale, FL. A complementary commercial channel is the Bee Strong e-commerce store, which sells honey, beeswax, propolis, and royal jelly produced by program participants to ensure fair payment to beekeepers rather than to generate margin.

Pueblo a Pueblo is led by a fully local team and holds a GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency. Headcount is reported in the 11–50 range. Operating geographies are limited to Guatemala and surrounding regions, with no disclosed geographic expansion plans beyond the Lake Atitlán basin. Financial information, including total revenue, fundraising totals, and program-level budgets, is not publicly disclosed in the available source material.
