Natün Guatemala's community-led programs address systemic barriers and build cultural strength and resilience.
Our International Service Committee is exploring an exciting opportunity to support a project with Natün, an organization that works alongside Maya communities in the Lake Atitlán region of Guatemala to strengthen Indigenous leadership, participation, rights and capacity.
Through community-led programs in education, nutrition and health, and economic development, Natün works with local leaders to develop culturally relevant solutions that support Indigenous autonomy and community well-being.
As part of exploring a potential Rotary partnership, a seven-day discovery trip is planned for February 27–March 7, 2027. Participants will visit Natün’s programs, meet local leaders and community partners, and learn firsthand about Indigenous-led development and the communities Natün serves.
The journey will also offer an opportunity to experience Guatemala’s rich culture, beautiful landscapes and the people who make this country so special.
