Prioritizing Collaboration and Driving Holistic Development

At Natün, we take a holistic approach to addressing social justice issues in Maya communities. Instead of focusing solely on one program area, we interconnect all our programs to tackle root causes. This comprehensive strategy aims to break the intergenerational poverty cycles, reduce oppression, and combat exploitation, ensuring a long-term, sustainable impact.

Our community-led programs are not isolated; they are globally connected. We align our efforts with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and incorporate academic research into our programmatic model to ensure responsible and sustainable development.

Natün's Strategic Plan 2026-2030

Our 2026–2030 Strategic Plan marks a bold chapter for Natün. Embracing a systemic approach, guided by six Strategic Threads: Cultural Relevance, Leadership & Advocacy, Partnerships for Systemic Change, Indigenous Rights, Gender Equity, Environment; which guide each of the organization's programs.

This new chapter has been shaped by the voices of Indigenous community members, local leaders, regional partners, and Natün's staff, who will continue to lead this process.
