Family Nutrition

Picture
Many women in Totonicapán grow corn that can be dried, ground, and made into tortillas and other foods year-round.
The most common occupation in rural Totonicapán is subsistence agriculture (people who focus primarily on growing and raising the resources they need to feed and clothe their families). ​The drought of 2014-2015 brought already malnourished subsistence farmers to the brink of famine. Climate-based anomalies, such as the drought of 2014-2015, ensure that Totonicapán’s subsistence farmers will continue to deal with chronic food security issues. Therefore, Mujerave supports initiatives that include:
  • The construction of greenhouses
  • Agro-forestry workshops
  • Family gardens, which include traditional and medicinal plants
  • Rain-water catchment systems to provide crops with adequate water supply
  • Grey-water recycling filtration systems to provide crops with adequate water supply
  • The production and use of organic fertilizers to improve soil conditions
