What we do

Proyecto GT works with an organization called EntreMundos (Between Worlds). EntreMundos among many other things coordinates volunteers with non-profit social projects in Quetzaltenango Guatemala. Because volunteers often have a hard time finding prospective locations to volunteer, and because locally run projects often have a hard time finding volunteers with the expertise they need, EntreMundos tries to fill this gap. EntreMundos has compiled a list of over 200 local organizations and communicates with many of them on a regular basis. Beyond volunteering coordination the office regularly holds conferences on grant writing, organization development, and other development related issues. Proyecto GT will is able to use these resources to offer its services to a large group of local organizations, as well as have a place to hold conferences and workshops on computer literacy and web design.

Proyecto GT helps local non-profits in acquiring international funds through its foundation database. The foundation database is an online list of organizations and foundations who fund projects in Guatemala. This is an incredibaly important resource as this information is dificult to find and sites providing similar services can cost up to thousands of dollars to access.

Response to the project in the first year operation (2006) was extremely positive. Many organizations requested all sorts of related serrvices and attendance at web workshops was high.
