Fundación Gedeón is a nonprofit organization that aims to awaken Guatemalan citizens.
We aim to do this by questioning the cultural beliefs on which we base our actions,
which in turn can make a country stay on- or stray from -the path towards development.

What inspired us

The biblical story of Gideon, an ordinary Israelite who,
through a call to awaken, was moved to fight for his nation. Here is the story adapted to our reality:

Guatemalans were living in fear and in hiding. They were besieged by enemies who stole, cheated, and destroyed: enemies who surpassed them, both in number as in their desire to win.

Guatemalans had entered a period of discouragement, which led them to run and hide rather than fight and be brave.

Guatemala’s true leadership was asleep.

But God, seeing his people’s great suffering, speaks to the essence of a leader called Gideon, who lived in the same state of numbness as the rest of his countrymen. God confronts him, speaks to his essence and calls him brave warrior.

These words were like darts thrown at the center of his being, a deep calling that spoke to the purpose for which he was created ...

IT WAS A WAKE UP CALL.

ARE YOU THAT LEADER?

Our Creed

Our Purpose

To awaken the best that exists within all of us, by questioning the beliefs we hold:

         Regarding the
                     application of justice

         Regarding
                     wealth generation.

         Regarding a person’s ability to influence
                      its destiny.

We believe that only by changing our actions, the results we obtain will be different.
