Description
Behrhorst Partners for Development (BPD) was founded in 1967 as a private, nonprofit organization to support the health and development that Dr. Carroll Behrhorst initiated in Guatemala. Its mission is to strengthen and expand processes of community development and participation that enhance people's lives. BPD works in respectful partnership with Mayan Guatemalans to have a positive impact on the problems associated with Guatemala's history of violence against indigenous populations, natural disasters, poverty, illiteracy and disastrously high rates of infant and maternal death.
