Viamericas, a leading provider of remittance and international money transfer services, has announced the start of their annual fundraising campaign with partner Grupo Financiero G&T Continental (Banco G&T Continental), the third largest financial organization in Guatemala. The yearly donation campaign raises money for Guatemalans with disabilities to attend Viamericas’ educational and recreational Viamistad camps. Between November 2024 and March 2025, Viamericas and G&T will donate to Viamistad 20 cents of every transaction done through Viamericas to Banco G&T.
Now in its 17th year, Viamericas’ charitable organization, Viamistad, provides life-changing opportunities for Guatemalans with disabilities through summer camps, an inclusive school, and entrepreneurship programs. Each year, nearly 90 campers with disabilities attend the camp alongside local volunteers. Campers get the opportunity to form lasting friendships and develop important life skills. Attending Viamistad camps allows these individuals to challenge societal barriers, diminish the stigma around disabilities and promote greater understanding and inclusion within the community.
“As a proud partner of Viamericas, we are thrilled to be a continued part of the Viamistad project this year,” said Oswaldo Sánchez, Director of Remittance Business at Banco G&T Continental. “At Banco G&T Continental, we believe the Viamistad program is greatly changing the lives of Guatemalans with disabilities, and we are committed to promoting inclusion and contributing to the development and well-being of these individuals.”
“We are so excited to be continuing our donation campaign this year with Banco G&T. Their continuous support for Viamistad and its mission means so much to the Guatemalan community and makes a life-changing difference for these individuals,” said Joseph Argilagos, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Viamericas as well as President of Viamistad. “Our educational and recreational camps continue to grow each year, and the support from partners such as Banco G&T allows us to focus on providing the best, inclusive and fun experiences for our campers.”
