TAKE ON A HEALTH CHALLENGE TO SUPPORT FRIENDSHIP BRIDGE!

Here's how it works: You take on a health challenge for the month of September and ask your friends and family to donate to your campaign. Simply sign up to register, complete your information, and make a statement about your health goal. We'll guide you through the process of promoting your campaign to your friends and family using email and social media.

 *Always consult your doctor before taking on new dietary changes and exercise.

If you have not yet registered for the 2022 Health for Life Challenge, please do so first before logging in.

Returning participants need to re-register each year. If using the same email as a previous year to register, you will need your login information from the previous year or to reset the password. 

WHAT IS HEALTH FOR LIFE: Friendship Bridge serves more than 25,000 women whose access to preventive healthcare is rarely an option. This lack of healthcare only perpetuates the cycle of poverty. To further our mission of creating opportunities that empower Guatemalan women to build a better life, our Health for Life program provides health education and preventive services at no cost. We provide culturally sensitive services using domiciliary and mobile clinics that travel to the villages where our clients live. Each clinic is staffed by highly-trained, female medical staff fluent in the indigenous languages our clients speak.

THE NEED: After operating under constraints such as lockdowns, travel restrictions, and reduced capacities, Friendship Bridge is now running the Health for Life program in four of our branches in the rural areas of Sololá, Chimaltenango, Quetzaltenango, and Quiché. This year, we plan to expand the program to two additional branch locations of Santo Tomas and  Mazatenango.  

THE MATCH

All donations will be matched by a generous group of donors for a total match of $60,000 to Friendship Bridge! You can donate to an individual's challenge or click below to make a donation specifically to our Health for Life program.
