Our roots
The “Fundación para el Desarrollo Integral de Programas Socioeconómicos” (Foundation for the Integral Development of Socioeconomic Programs) FUNDAP was established on September 22, 1981, as a response to people and communities with scarce economic resources. FUNDAP bases its action on the motto “Development with Dignity”, which includes respect for the human person, its culture and traditions, and participates actively in the fight against poverty.
At this moment, FUNDAP´s working region encompasses the Central Highlands, North and South West areas of Guatemala.
A 40-year-old legacy
In its 40 years of existence, FUNDAP has been successfully directing its actions and validating its development models, thanks to the willingness to work and collaboration of its beneficiaries and the commitment of its staff, currently 735 collaborators, and the support of more than 120 National and International organizations that have trusted its vision.
