A non-profit association with a humanistic spirit. Founded in 2013, our work focuses are the prevention of violence, the process of transformation of lives, community development to improve the quality of life, and promoting the defense of equality and human rights.
The Instituto Mesoamericano de Permacultura (Instituto Mesoamericano de Permacultura - IMAP) is a non-profit organization based in Guatemala. It was founded in 2000 by a group of local people concerned about the serious environmental, social, political and cultural problems that affect Mesoamerican communities.
We have established an education center where we promotes the teaching of Permaculture techniques, the conservation of biodiversity, the production of seeds and vegetables in an organic way, and a seed bank that fights for the rescue of the heritage of native seeds.
Tikal Canal facilitates volunteer led workshops in San Felipe de Jesus, Tzununa La Laguna, and Nebaj, Quiché.
We work in rural areas of Guatemala contributing in training focused on women and children, guaranteeing the availability of water, sanitation and hygiene.
An internationally supported organization, we work under the umbrella of Youth For Human Rights International providing human rights education and human rights education materials for violence prevention.
