The Vamos Adelante Project provides education, health and nutritionservices to the poor in more than 24 villages in the region of Esquintla,Guatemala (located halfway between the country's capitol city and the Pacific Coast).

The organization was founded by Nina Jorgensen in 1989. In 2008, Nina Jörgensen was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit of Germany for her outstanding work. Her team consists almost exclusively of local women who put a lot of effort into improving the living conditions of the local communities.

Vamos Adelante is the only ngo operating in this isolated part of Guatemala. The people in the area work mostly on a temporary basis harvesting sugar cane and coffee. The average family has five children and there is widespread illiteracy, malnourishment, parasite-related illness, alcoholism, and other symptoms associated with chronic poverty. The children in this region suffer from borderline to severe malnutrition due to a lack of basic education and health facilities.

To address these issues, Vamos Adelante has established schools and health facilities in several villages and has recruited local education and health care promoters to work with families on improving education, health, hygiene and nutrition.
