Program Description:
At MPI's international site in Quito, Ecuador, all of our programs build upon the existing assets, resources and capacities available in the communities where we work, and fall into three asset-based categories.
Empower individuals through programs that develop their capacities to advance economically and educationally, and to become leaders in their communities.
Strengthen institutions by working alongside them to introduce best practices, connect them to national and international resources, and expand their services.
Build networks by creating stronger links among community members, connecting people to local institutions, and promoting inter-institutional collaboration.
We work with people of all ages and offer programs in a variety of fields, including education, health, agriculture, and business development.

Program Description:
MPI's international site in Solola, Guatemala, was started in July 2010. Our volunteers are currently on the grounds getting to know the community to see what specific community programs the community desires. Following our holistic model, we have developed a variety of programs for all ages and in multiple fields including public health initiatives, English classes, and an environmental program which is helping turn community waste into building materials for a local school.
