Join us for the EPIC’s 43rd Annual General Meeting on August 1st, 2020. We will be gathering on Zoom at 9:00 am (Mountain Time). We are excited to share inspiring stories from the projects and our hopes for the coming year.
Reforestation Work Continues in Guatemala
EPIC's reforestation work continues in spite of COVID! During June the Baja Verapaz program distributed 12,000 trees for reforestation in 15 communities.
Hope at Home
Why do so many people try to immigrate to the United States? Lack of economic opportunity, malnutrition, and food insecurity are among many factors. EPIC aims to interrupt this cycle of poverty.
Planning For a Life at Home
With a steeply inclined parcel, Miguel and Rosa plotted out how they could increase their food production and make a life for themselves in Guatemala.
Growing as a Community
A community garden in Baja Verapaz provides an opportunity to teach sustainable agricultural practices, reduce malnutrition and give hope for a life in Guatemala.
Campesino to Campesino: Salvador
Salvador is a campesino educator working in Baja Verapaz, Guatemala to improve agricultural practices. In his life and on his plot, he has worked through the same struggles as those he educates.
Campesino to Campesino: Juana
Campesino educator Juana is energizing women in Baja Verapaz, Guatemala to do the hard work of building a sustainable life in Guatemala.
Reforestation and Reclamation
Don Santos planted 1000 trees! He received tree seedlings and learned how to improve his soil from FUNDAMARCOS, so his family can grow more of their own produce.
Hatching a Plan for Nutrition
Little chicks are cute! But, beyond cuteness, the Baja Verapaz: Sustainable Agriculture program's chick hatching program is helping improve family nutrition in Baja Verapaz, Guatemala.
