Mission: Why Support Youth Through Ancestral Maya Culture

We believe that supporting young people through the wisdom of ancestral Maya culture strengthens both identity and sustainability.
By reconnecting youth with traditional knowledge, we nurture pride, creativity, and respect for the Earth.
Through culture, we plant the seeds of leadership, community, and harmony with nature — guiding the next generation to walk with balance and purpose.

Clay: Ancestral wisdom for a sustainable future 🌎
Clay is not just part of the Maya past — it’s a living tool to care for the Earth today.
Through it, we learn to build without polluting, to create with our hands, and to stay connected with Mother Earth.
Each pot, each house, and each clay workshop reminds us that sustainability begins with our roots. 🌱

Thanks to the collaboration of people committed to culture and youth, this replanting of ancestral Maya knowledge has been made possible.

El barro: raíz viva de nuestra historia

En Guatemala, el barro no es solo tierra… es memoria, identidad y creación. 🌋
Desde tiempos ancestrales, nuestras abuelas y abuelos han transformado el barro con sus manos, dándole forma a cántaros, comales y figuras que guardan la esencia de nuestros pueblos. 👐🏽

Conservar esta artesanía ancestral es mantener viva la conexión con la Madre Tierra, con el fuego, el agua y el espíritu comunitario que nos une.
Cada pieza de barro cuenta una historia: de resistencia, de belleza y de saberes que no deben perderse.

Apoyar el barro es honrar la herencia artesanal y sembrar futuro para las nuevas generaciones.

Gracias al compromiso del trabajo colectivo esto puede ser posible.

Caring for ancestral knowledge is caring for life 🌱

In the Indigenous communities of Guatemala, traditional medicine, the art of weaving, and cacao are more than cultural practices:
they are sources of healing, identity, and connection with Mother Earth. 🌎💚

Passing this knowledge on to young people is essential because:
🔸 It keeps natural healing practices alive 🌿
🔸 It preserves the symbolism and spirituality of weaving 🧵
🔸 It protects cacao, considered a sacred food 🍫
🔸 It strengthens identity and cultural pride

💚 Every remedy, every loom, and every cacao bean tells a story.
Sharing them with the next generations ensures these stories continue to flourish.

Working with Youth Means Planting the Future 💡🌱

They are the energy and creativity we need to build a more sustainable world.
When we share knowledge about caring for the Earth 🌍, we give them the tools to become agents of change in their communities.

👩‍🌾👨‍🔧 Sustainability starts with youth:
🔹 They easily embrace new ideas
🔹 They spread the message among friends and family
🔹 They inspire us to imagine a better future

💚 Planting awareness in youth today means harvesting a healthy planet tomorrow.
