Guatemala

Together, we support savings groups that help families build financial stability and access small loans to grow businesses and strengthen their livelihoods. These groups serve economically vulnerable households and provide financial literacy, business skills and nutrition education training.

Members learn how to establish family and community gardens to improve food security, and safe spaces are created for women to come together to discuss and respond to domestic violence.

Communities in Guatemala are increasingly affected by the worsening impacts of climate change, including extreme weather and food shortages. In response, we work with the Diocese to provide emergency food relief to families recovering from these crises.
