Viamericas Corporation, a licensed, international remittance company, has partnered with Grupo Financiero GyT Contiental (Banco GyT), the third largest financial organization in Guatemala, to raise money for people with disabilities to attend the educational and recreational camps of Viamistad in Guatemala. Between November 2023 and March 2024, they will donate 20 cents of every transaction made from a Viamericas location to Banco GyT to Viamistad.

Celebrating its 16th year, Viamistad is a charitable organization that provides Guatemalans with disabilities several life-changing opportunities through summer camps, an inclusive school and entrepreneurship programs. Nearly 90 people with disabilities and local volunteers come to camp annually, where campers build authentic friendships and learn a range of essential skills. Campers that attend the Viamistad camps open the hearts and minds of the community by breaking the barriers and stigma of people with disabilities.

“Banco GyT Continental takes pride in being part of the Viamistad project and will continue to promote actions and collaborate with initiatives that contribute to the development and well-being of Guatemala,” stated Oswaldo Sánchez, Director of Remittance Business at Banco GyT Continental.

Viamericas and Banco GyT are committed to growing the Viamistad organization and bringing even more opportunities to the people of Guatemala. To further the sense of community, a future goal for Viamericas is to create a recreational center in Guatemala where people with disabilities can attend year-round to build their skills and have access to any resources needed.

“Viamistad created an educational camp for people with disabilities in Guatemala, which did not previously exist, and the program continues to grow each year. At the camp, we erase divisions and labels and focus on providing experiences that bring inclusion, fun and a sense of community into everyone’s lives,” said Joseph Argilagos, Co-Founder of Viamericas and President of Viamistad. “We are grateful for the support Banco GyT provides to Viamistad and its camp. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of people in need. With every donation, we can continue to provide hope, smiles and dreams.”

Over eight non-profit organizations in the United States have already collaborated with the Viamistad donation campaign. Visit www.viamistad.org for additional information.

A Harvard Law grad, Paul started Viamericas as a family business with his wife and brother-in-law–which explains in large part his determination to support business people in his network, and the everyday workers and families who rely on it.
