Social Impact

Wakami was born by recognizing that Guatemala is a country where dreams are big but opportunities are few. It all started when we reached communities and asked: What do you need? and the answer was “What we need is a source of income”. These words triggered endless questions, plans, projects that led us to create our formula for change
