The social situation in Guatemala is difficult in regards of actualization of the indigenous people\u2019s rights and the government tries to subdue indigenous people\u2019s protests. The Mayan women\u2019s social status is weak and their educational level is low. In this current situation, the strengthening of the capacity of the local organizations representing indigenous people is seen important.<\/p>\n
The main goal of Women\u2019s Bank\u2019s projects is to strengthen indigenous women\u2019s possibilities to take part in political decision making and support means of income. The poor farmer\u2019s status in rural areas, literacy and other training, and farmer\u2019s products being brought to markets are being especially supported.<\/p>\n
The project started in 2013.\u00a0 The year 2012 was spent developing a project plan in cooperation with the implementing organizations and their training. Our cooperative partner is Lutheran World Federation Central American Program, which implements the project together with local organizations representing indigenous people and local authorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
