We provide the tools for indigenous families in remote Guatemala to have safety and food security in their communities.

Since 2022, Sowing Opportunities has been collaboratively building agricultural capacity, resources, leadership, and economic development for indigenous families in villages in this area which has no resources, tourism or any other NGO. In 2024, we are working with the three villages of Chajmaic, Salaguna, and Sisbilhá, over 100 families – approximately 500 people.
Watch Sowing Opportunities’ 2.5-minute video of its 2023 Annual Report to know its achievements in 2023 and plans for 2024.
Sowing Opportunities Innovative Solutions Campaign, which started in 2022, has mapped out a 3-Phase plan to create Sustainability, and help reduce Poverty and Malnutrition in the Eastern Highlands of Guatemala.

Because of the rocky soil in the region, vegetables cannot be grown directly in the ground. For this reason, corn – which is a Guatemalan food staple – doesn’t do well when grown on the land. So, Sowing Opportunities’ agricultural engineer came up with the plan to grow leafy greens and other crops in greenhouses.
