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.

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.
We are beginning with a third village in January 2024.
This year, Sowing Opportunities took a bold step. We introduced a greenhouse agriculture curriculum to a second school – the regional Fray School – enabling us to reach students from about 350 additional households in Guatemala’s remote Eastern Alta Verapaz region. The results have exceeded our expectations – truly cultivating hope. In under six months,
