Community Education

The sharing of technical information and the preservation of indigenous knowledge are crucial to the maintenance of rural lifestyles in Totonicapán. Charlas, or educational workshops, are an inexpensive and efficient method of disseminating information to the rural population Mujerave serves. Mujerave delivers charlas in Guatemala on topics ranging from HIV/AIDS prevention and family planning to the creation of organic fertilizer. Our efforts in these areas will complement the construction of health-related infrastructure to improve family health and form the cornerstone of our family nutrition program.

Mujerave also feels strongly about the preservation of cultural and indigenous knowledge in Guatemala. Our charlas and workshops seek to offer a safe space for communities in ​Totonicapán to share and preserve this knowledge.
