Alfaguat was founded in January 2001 with a group of people belonging to several churches, with the main purpose of developing educational and social programs for community development in different departments of Guatemala, especially on the outskirts of cities and rural communities with mainly indigenous populations. The main activities have been guided by the promotion of human rights in the form of social audits, literacy, and primary education of youth and adults of school age and preschools. Other activities include humanitarian aid in emergencies, nutrition and environmental care, HIV and AIDS prevention campaigns, and occupational workshops.
