Amplifying Indigenous voices for a Dignified Life in Guatemala
We advocate for Indigenous Peoples, serve families impacted by migration, and practice Mayan economies of good living, or el buen vivir.
More than 10 million Indigenous Peoples worldwide have been uprooted from their ancestral lands due to unjust work conditions, mining projects and the growing impacts of climate injustice.
"The real impact lies in keeping Indigenous cultural heritage alive in spiritual practice, art, economics, and ancestral medicine."
"As Indigenous Peoples, our voices must be at the center of the proposals that affect us."
"We believe in a future where Indigenous youth can grow without leaving behind their roots."
“Women are the bearers of culture-- transmitting it through our language, textiles, the practices in our home, and the philosophy of life.”

“Mayan communities have a great legacy of knowledge that contributes to the development of social consciousness, of being a diverse whole, where the ancestral and the contemporary are intertwined. This provides everything necessary for each of these forms of knowledge to transcend.”
