United for the
community

2erinm-B

In Latin, Natün relates to being born, growing, and becoming as intended (Natus, Nature, Native). In Kaqchikel, Natün means to unite or come together, to stand for a common cause. And that is the work and future of the organization, to come together for the community, to grow, learn and become our best together.

Voices from our communities

Growing Healthy Program

"...they assessed my baby and realized that his health was not normal and referred me for lab tests... Thanks to all the support I received, now my son’s health is starting to improve, he is more active, he is starting to smile again and moves on his own, before, he couldn’t."

Norma Angelica, Jonathan's mother

Programa de becas

"My dad forgot about the debt and about us.... Thanks to you I have been able to get ahead with my studies, and now I am in 9th grade [Segundo básico]. I thank you for the support you have given me."

Anderson

Artisan program

“The fact that the Association provided us with the work and materials when we could not leave the communities was a great help so that we could work comfortably from our homes without putting ourselves at risk. I want to thank them for the great help in these critical times and for the opportunity to continue learning.”
