2013 Action Plan: Guatemala
In Guatemala, we partner with:
- Muixil, an organization of Indigenous women working to defend their political, economic, and cultural rights
- Women Workers Committee, a community group that works to meet urgent needs in the Bárcenas, a makeshift and marginalized neighborhood on the edge of Guatemala City
Here are the goals and activities for our 2013 programs in Guatemala.
GOAL: Train women in the skills they need to be economically independent
Activity: Fund a weaving cooperative, bringing together 30 Indigenous women
Activity: Support chicken farms for 50 women
Activity: Open a hair salon that will provide job training and domestic violence counseling to women
GOAL: Improve health in underserved communities
