Cultiva International | Panajachel is a brand with a big mission - to eradicate both internal and external poverty. They believe in offering real solutions for those who are ready to change their lives, rather than simply providing handouts. Cultiva teaches families in Guatemala how to improve their nutrition and lift themselves out of poverty.

They focus on fostering independence and mentor families, rather than fostering dependence. The face of this change is Juan Cosigua, Cultiva's field director, who has installed more than 2,000 garden boxes, conducted countless training hours, and provided extensive mentoring and home visits. Cultiva understands that true change comes from addressing the real need, not just the symptom.

They believe in cultivating hope and self-worth through relationships with the local Mayans, and have developed the Cultiva Way - a proven approach that includes hands-on classes, earning garden boxes, and ongoing support. Cultiva International is committed to making a sustainable impact in Guatemala by empowering its people and addressing the root causes of poverty
