The Guatemalan Tomorrow Fund (GTF) is a non-denominational, non-profit (501 C-3) organization dedicated exclusively to raising funds and providing logistical support for Ak’ Tenamit: an indigenous Q’eqchi Maya community development association based in the rainforests of eastern Guatemala. The GTF supports Ak’ Tenamit’s work to improve health, education, family incomes and the situation of women in dozens of isolated indigenous communities. Ak’ Tenamit runs an innovative health program, a secondary school that teaches practical skills, small business management, and community development, and promotes the education of indigenous girls.

Ak' Tenamit and Moran Education Center have grown rapidly during the past two years. Our high school's rapid growth during the past two years (350 to over 500 students) has dramatically increased basic overhead expenses - gas, diesel and food up 38%.
