During July, we are spotlighting USAID Guatemala as our Mission of the Month. USAID is working to address two challenges in Guatemala: historic inequality that remains ingrained in Guatemalan society, and weak government that lacks the capacity to address insecurity and poverty. Through partnerships with donor organizations and strong support to improve food security in areas with extremely high poverty and child chronic malnutrition levels, USAID programs focus on improving the health, education, nutrition and local governance of Guatemalan communities.
