Guatemala
Changing climates are destroying field crops, threatening a serious food crisis in Guatemala. An estimated 327,000 people risk hunger and malnutrition. ACT members have provided food for families to partially address this crisis. ACT’s work in Guatemala includes addressing the food crisis, supporting households to live within their means and create income, and running disaster risk reduction programmes and community resilience programmes. Other ACT programmes work to conserve soil and to prevent erosion. ACT’s advocacy work fights racism and improves human rights.
