Our mission is to strengthen developing communities by supporting education-focused initiatives for girls and women.
BFB Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization established in 2010. Our vision is to break the cycle of poverty by raising money to promote girl’s education by providing scholarships to high school & university students, and teachers in Guatemala and Charlotte, NC, USA.
About Touring for Good
Travelers will enjoy the beautiful and scenic Guatemalan landscape, history and culture including Lake Atitlán, Chichicastenango and the cityscape of Antigua, where modern life is juxtaposed among ruins. Guatemalan cuisine is not to be missed. The rich volcanic soil gives way to some of the freshest fruits and vegetables which are served alongside varieties of seafood and meats. Locally grown coffee and chocolate are mainstays in the cuisine. Vegetarian options are numerous and delicious!

Our Approach
BFB Foundation works in regions that are largely indigenous, providing educational opportunities. We work through schools and organizations in these communities that share our vision. We create a synergistic approach to empowering girls and women to end the cycle of poverty for their families and communities. As women learn life and leadership skills, receiving the support they need to build self-assurance and self-reliance, they begin to realize their own worth and potential, becoming agents of positive and lasting change.
Your travel with our program helps us to raise money for indigenous high schools for girls in Guatemala. We believe our work to educate girls and women in Guatemala is more important now than ever. Our Tours are geared for the most enriching, cultural and personal experience we can pack into 7 nights and 8 days. The next tour is Sunday, December 3rd through Sunday, December 10th 2023. The cost is $4,500 USD per person which includes all land transportation and tours, meals and accommodations. Our intention for the tour is to support the high schools we will visit; 50% of your fee is a tax-deductible donation and will be presented to the school during our visit there.
Join us to experience a rich and beautiful culture, steeped in antiquity – and a bright future that we will help to create together.
