We at Prochapina are overjoyed and honored to celebrate a powerful moment of success and collaboration!

​

Congratulations to the incredible Spanish majors Faith Jones, Ruth Hammer, and Jaelyn Krohn for their outstanding leadership in Enactus, which led their team at the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater to win the 2025 Enactus USA National Championship.

​

 

Their winning project, developed in partnership with Prochapina, focused on empowering single, mostly indigenous women in Guatemala by helping them launch small businesses and learn essential entrepreneurial skills. This initiative is a shining example of what can be achieved when international collaboration meets community empowerment.

​

We also want to recognize and thank Dr. Jodie Parys, the dedicated UW-Whitewater Spanish faculty member who guided the students and played a vital role in developing the project.

​

And we are especially grateful to Mr. Chotón, whose leadership and support were essential throughout this process. His wisdom and dedication to the mission of Prochapina have helped make this success possible, and we are proud to work alongside him in our daily efforts to build a better future for Guatemalan communities.

​

As national champions, the UW-Whitewater Enactus team will go on to represent the United States at the Enactus World Cup this September in Thailand, competing against teams from over 30 countries around the world.

​

We at Prochapina are filled with pride and gratitude to be part of this inspiring achievement. It’s a beautiful reminder that together, across cultures and borders, we can create lasting impact.

 

Muchas felicidades to all involved—and thank you for making us part of this inspiring project.

With joy and pride,
The ProChapina Team
