An interactive map of the Santa Lucía Utatlán region and our farm projects there
Santa Lucía Utatlán, Guatemala
It can be difficult to imagine the scope and scale of the work we continue to do in Guatemala without the use of a map. The Santa Lucía Utatlán municipality is 44 square miles with a population of 22,000 rural inhabitants. We currently work with 10 families indicated in green flags, from the communities of Los Planes and Paxub’ who are farming on their land, producing year round organic crops and making a living by selling their produce locally. These crops provide hundreds of families with essential fresh food that is creating food security in the region.
This is a small but growing example of how communities in Latin America can thrive under some of the most difficult conditions in the hemisphere. Our organization directly addresses the need for skill and behavioral training workshops, environmental stewardship and resource management, and productive organic farming to supply the basic foods and local employment needs of rural communities.
