Relationships built on trust and mutual respect form the foundation of Spartan Global. Maintaining strong relationships with our field partner, Vilma Garcia, and our loan recipients in Guatemala is crucial. Given the global nature of our work, it is easy to feel detached from the impact of our work. Thus, we make it a point to travel to Guatemala as often as possible to engage directly and work alongside loan recipients. The perspective gained from these field visits allow us to better understand the cultural, political, and economic contexts of the communities we lend in. We are planning our next trip to Guatemala for Spring of 2024.
