Débora Ruano Fletcher was born in Guatemala–the land of eternal spring! Her deepest joy comes from being the mother of 10 wonderful people (8 boys, 2 girls), and grandmother of 4. To improve her motherly skills, Débora decided to study Psychology and Family Science at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah and is currently pursuing a doctorate in Natural Medicine.
With the goal of helping her children have hope in the future, Débora has been involved in understanding world issues and policies regarding family. She has attended and presented at international conferences like the United Nations—UN, The Organization of American States—OAS, and other world conferences in Africa, Jordan, Colombia, Switzerland, South Korea, New York and other local conferences in the US..
Her organization–Sustainable Families–has as a goal to improve the lives of native peoples worldwide, especially those suffering from extreme poverty inside their own countries e.i. the Mayans in Guatemala. During her decades of volunteering, traveling and studying she has been able to design a program that has the potential to change the plight of the unborn children in these needy communities. This will be accomplished beginning with nourishing the future mothers with more natural and digestible protein so their bodies can produce children with fully functioning brains. Also by instructing current parents on how to let go of their internal poverty, so they can have a prosperous life, with health, education and better nutrition within united and resilient communities.
She has a strong conviction that the family, specifically mothers, are the catalyst to improving society and solving its modern, seemingly insurmountable challenges.
