Habitat for Humanity Guatemala is a non-profit organization that works with low-income families to improve their living conditions by building new homes, enhancing existing houses, and developing housing communities. It also offers affordable housing solutions, including smokeless stoves, water filters, and basic sanitation services, aimed at helping families achieve a healthy and stable living environment. Founded in 1979 and based in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, the organization operates within the non-profit sector focused on housing needs. To date, Habitat for Humanity Guatemala has provided over 120,000 housing solutions for approximately 720,000 people—more than any other housing organization in the region—despite Guatemala facing a housing deficit exceeding 1.8 million homes. In 2010, it launched the Healthy Home Kit program to support families living in extreme poverty.
