Plan Guatemala
Plan started working in Guatemala in 1978. 40,300 children in 635 communities are now affiliated to Plan. They and their families - in total some 500,000 people - are benefiting from a sustainable approach to community development.
Plan has 6 programme units in 4 departaments: Alta y Baja Verapaz, Jalapa and Izabal, and works with groups ranging from people of Mayan origin speaking indigenous languages to sections of the mestizo population.
Plan's programmes, based on the Child Rights Convention, take an integral approach to the needs of children while acknowledging their changing requirements as they grown up.Case study
