WHO WE ARE

At Wakami Foundation, we believe real change begins when women can turn their dreams into a way of life. We work in rural Guatemala, partnering with women to create pathways to economic opportunity, quality education, and healthier homes.

Through our proven model—centered on inclusive business incubation, global market access, and smart social investment—we’ve supported thousands of families in building cycles of prosperity. We focus on creating opportunities for women to earn and improve their quality of life for themselves and their families. But it’s not just about income—it’s about growing futures where children study, mothers lead, and communities thrive.

HOW WE DO IT

Inclusive Business

We incubate and strengthen micro-enterprises—primarily led by women—across the handmade and agriculture sectors.

Global Market Access

Through partnerships with the Wakami brand and aligned for-profit companies, we connect businesses to international markets, ensuring sustainability and growth

Smart investment

We deliver tailored wellness and educational programs—like scholarships, Girls’ Acceleration Program, mentorship, and nutrition support—to build strong foundations for lasting transformation.
