Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The Western Highlands of Guatemala are known for their indigenous culture and colorful scenery, yet the region also has some of the highest poverty rates in the world. While many community groups desire to change their circumstances, they often lack access to the resources and training they need to do so.
At the IAF, we support community-led solutions that expand economic opportunity. Our grantee partner Asociación Educacional para el Desarrollo Integral de los Movimientos Comunitarios (ENTREMUNDOS) works with community organizations in the Western Highlands to strengthen their capacities in community-based tourism and organizational development.
Through training, small grants, and peer-to-peer exchange activities, participating groups will enhance their tourism offerings, increase their incomes, and improve their livelihoods. This grant is part of the IAF's efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration in Central America.
