Guatemala has the highest rate of chronic malnutrition in all of Latin America, and one of the highest in the world, standing at 49%. In some rural zones, this reaches 80%. Concerned by this situation, at the start of 2019, a group of people founded the organisation 32 Volcanes, which is a Guatemalan non-profit organisation that, through the reclamation of culture, strives for community sovereignty and autonomy to achieve more just lives at both a social and environmental level, to regenerate and dignify lives. It is also a platform for the creation of community support networks, for the joint creation of processes that highlight human dignity, gender equality, and that grant access to new knowledge and promote happiness and a sense of spiritual harmony with our environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The core programmes and ideas of 32 Volcanes have been consolidated thanks to the continued support of US organisations such as the All Together Foundation and Timmy Global Health, who, from the very beginning, have placed their hope, faith, and team spirit into the association. With the freedom to grow, improve, organise, and develop new foundations that represent the capacities built over 3 decades of work by the founders, the discourse, ideological base, and political activities of 32 Volcanoes have matured with time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We have seen the programmes not only continue but improve and shift closer and closer towards ancestral knowledge, memory, and the biosphere. Just as a seed takes root in the earth and consolidates itself as a new life, interweaving its roots with the roots of other beings, flowers, and fades away to complete its regeneration cycle, 32 Volcanoes has expanded its approach to regenerative development. The philosophy is based on rhizomatic models, similar to natural processes, as 32 Volcanoes believes in the community ability to build new social and knowledge paradigms that are in harmony with the earth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
