Overview
Mission
ODIM is comprised of Guatemalans who work in collaboration with national and international volunteers to promote and enrich the health and quality of life of the Tz'utujil Maya in the communities of San Juan La Laguna and San Pablo La Laguna by providing primary individual and family health care, health education, scholarships, and basic home improvements.
What it reported doing in 2025
The Mamá y Yo Saludable (Healthy Mommy and Me) program is aimed at improving maternal and child health to combat malnutrition during the first 1,000 days of a child's life. This program involves a monthly educational seminar and support group for expectant and new mothers through age two years of the child. Participants learn about topics such as healthy nutrition during their pregnancy, breast feeding, child nutrition, cooking techniques, hygiene and infant care, vaccinations, family planning methods, and how to resolve emotional conflicts with spouses and other family members. Support groups are led by local health promoters who have been educated by Guatemalan and international health professionals. In 2025, a total of 84 mothers participated in the program, and they received 532 food baskets or vouchers to purchase food from local merchants during the year. ODIM health promoters conducted 54 in-person workshops with mothers, held 22 support group meetings, and 72 follow-up appointments to check the height and weight of the children. At the end of the year, 26 mothers and their toddlers graduated from their 1,000 days in the program. Based on regular height and weight measurements of the infants and toddlers, 88.5% of the children from San Juan and San Pablo in the graduation class achieved a healthy height and weight for a two-year old child.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
