Jobs & Peer-to-Peer Counseling: Guatemalan Women

Organization information

Highland Support Project

Location: Richmond, United States of America

Summary

Indigenous Guatemalan women face layers of oppression as women in a patriarchal society, a discriminated-against Indigenous minority in a colonized country, and that as Indigenous people, they are three times more likely to be living in extreme poverty. The COVID-19 pandemic only exacerbates these conditions. Join us in providing jobs and job training, peer to peer counseling and health services, and the tools & guidance needed to gain the resilience and self-determination they need to thrive.
