Indigenous people make up half of Guatemala’s population, yet the poverty they face is so severe that 67% of their children are malnourished. The future of the next generation remains dim: indigenous children only receive an average of 1.3 years of schooling in their lifetime.
Together we can change this. We have developed a model that brings hope to rural communities through the financial and social empowerment brought by access to U.S. markets. But we need your help to bring this model to more communities.
