Our History
Shared Beat started in 2006 to fulfill a need for medical support in an educational reinforcement project, Safe Passage, serving the children living around the Guatemala City dump. Motivated by the lack of quality basic healthcare access for these children and their families, our work has evolved to focus on sustainable objectives. At the heart of these objectives are prevention, education and empowerment. The name Shared Beat symbolizes a sharing of your heart with others.
Leadership
The Shared Beat Board is an amazing group of volunteers. To date our board members have logged over 34,500 volunteer hours and collectively participated on 34 Shared Beat Medical Outreach Trips. Shared Beat is our labor of love. Click here for more information on our board of directors:
