Today, 2.8 billion people lack adequate housing, and over 733 million suffer from hunger. Without food and shelter, it’s difficult to build a dignified life. We Effect supports cooperative organizations to ensure access to nutritious food and decent housing. By empowering communities to join forces, we create lasting solutions – building safe homes and providing food security for generations to come.

Building Climate Resilience Starts with Listening: IMOX Field Visits in Rural Guatemala

Across rural Guatemala, climate variability is increasingly affecting the livelihoods of small-scale farmers. Unpredictable rainfall, prolonged dry periods, and growing pressure on water resources are making agricultural production more challenging for farming communities that depend on the land for their income and food security.

Addressing these challenges requires more than technical solutions. It begins with understanding local realities, listening to communities, and identifying opportunities that respond to the specific conditions of each territory.
