Dream Invest Grow (DIG)
In Guatemala, students and faculty will collaborate with Dream Invest Grow (DIG), a humanitarian organization committed to breaking the cycle of poverty and malnutrition through sustainable community empowerment. DIG’s mission to provide a hand up, not a hand out, aligns seamlessly with Mohawk College’s values of social responsibility, applied learning, and community impact. Our students will not only be supporting local communities through hands-on projects, but also gaining invaluable real-world experience that will shape their academic and professional journeys.
One of the central efforts our students will contribute to is the smokeless stove program. This initiative replaces hazardous open-air cooking fires with woodburning stoves equipped with chimneys, thereby reducing toxic smoke inhalation and promoting healthier environments. According to the World Health Organization, over 4.3 million premature deaths per year are linked to household air pollution, largely from such indoor fires.
We thank you in advance for your support!
