Program: Moving towards a social and solidarity economy based on a Healthy Tseltal Home

In Tseltal communities in the highlands of Chiapas, Indigenous children and their families face a wide range of challenges, including chronic malnutrition, deteriorating environmental conditions, violence, and health challenges that have long-term repercussions.

The IAF supports lasting, comprehensive solutions for community development from health to environment to enterprise based on local needs and resources.

Our partner Ixim A.C. (Ixim) is working with Tseltal families to provide integrated solutions to these challenges through community assessments, health and nutrition interventions, conflict resolution approaches, and simple technologies to improve air, water, and soil quality. By supporting community savings groups and enterprises, Ixim is also helping families to build sustainable livelihoods.
