Where We Work and Why
Natün works in the department of Sololá, in the Western Highlands of Guatemala, where 96% of the population is Indigenous and the region is rich in Maya culture. Despite this strength, generations of historical exclusion, underfunded systems, and deep inequities have limited opportunity – particularly for Maya women and youth – and 76% of the population lives in poverty. That’s why we work alongside rural Indigenous communities as they lead efforts to build opportunity, equity, and dignity.
