Why Diabetes?
Guatemala is one of the poorest
countries in Latin America. e
rural population of Guatemala has
limited access to treatments for
chronic diseases, like diabetes, de-
spite the fact that these diseases are
rapidly on the rise.
Wuqu Kawoq provides compre-
hensive management of type 2
diabetes in rural settings. Patients
have access to doctors, nurses, and
educators who speak their language
(Kaqchikel or Kichee) and pro-
vide treatments and medications
free of charge. With your help, we
can totally transform the treatment
of diabetes!
