About Us
We’re on a mission to help Guatemalans find ways to assist those in their communities with high need.
How we got started
Action Alliance started through the desire to give care providers and families assistance to improve lives and to have the ability to assist their community. We also believe cultural exchanges enrich the lives of all participants and their respective communities. Bringing together people of different cultures who work together to help others brings joy and understanding into their lives.
We are honored to work with our Guatemalan nonprofit service provider, FundaMaya. Their board members and employees are native to Sololá and know the communities well. Sharon Smart, a founding member of FundaMaya has lived in Guatemala for 30 years and has worked with FundaMaya for the past 15 years. With them, we work to assists their communities’ poorest families to educate their children, care for their elderly, and assist with chronic and acute food needs. We believe that individuals who are in poverty with little hope of improving their situation can be given hope through thoughtful assistance which will, in turn, strengthen their families and communities.
The Action Alliance International Team
We are dedicated to assisting the people in the Sololá area through providing resources and training that will empower them to help their communities. There is a beautiful culture and people who are able and willing to work together with us to improve their area and to share their culture.
