Men from our new partner community of Xiquin Juyú, Tecpán have begun their training through our New Masculinities program. They are working to become leaders who respect and promote equity and help ensure everyone's voice is heard during the community's development process. They will also have the opportunity to learn a new trade and improve their earning potential. We're excited to see this program expand from last year's pilot to all five of this year's new communities!
Gray water filters are under construction in our new partner community of Simajulheu! Once these are finished, household waste water will no longer contaminate the area around people's homes, and the risk of gastrointestinal diseases will be reduced.

Women's empowerment programming has begun in our new partner community of Xiquin Juyú, Tecpán. These women are working with staff from our sister organization in Guatemala, ABPD, to learn about their rights, build their self esteem, and develop their leadership skills.
By next year, women from the community will be leading this program themselves, with some guidance. And after two years, they'll be ready to independently carry the development work we began together into the future.
