Join Dirty Girl Adventures in giving children in Guatemala a healthy start in life.
DGA Guatemala Fundraiser 2026
We are fundraising to combat malnutrition in Guatemala.
Dirty Girl Adventures (aka. Chicas de la Tierra) is returning to beautiful Guatemala in February 2026 for a life-changing service/adventure challenge to raise funds for the Healthy Mommy & Me initiative of the Organization for the Development of Indigenous Maya (ODIM) in Guatemala. We will participate in local cultural and adventure activities, as well as provide healthier home environments by building clean-burning stoves and installing eco-filters for clean water to support mothers and their babies.
Guatemala faces serious challenges when it comes to malnutrition. Two-thirds of the overall population live on less than $2 per day. As a result, the prevalence of stunting in children under 5 years is one of the highest in the world - and the highest in Latin America and the Caribbean. In fact, in the rural communities where ODIM works, 8 out of 10 children are malnourished.
Through the Healthy Mommy & Me initiative, ODIM provides mothers and babies from rural communities with prenatal and postnatal health care, health education, family planning, vitamin supplements, and food vouchers, to give the children a healthy start in life for the first 1000 days from conception to their second birthday - and you can be a part of this great effort!
Any donation - big or small - will go a long way to helping us meet our goal. All donations go directly to ODIM’s Healthy Mommy & Me program and do not pay for any personal trip expenses.
Will you help us give a child in Guatemala a healthy start in life?
