Casa Q’eqchi Pandemic Response Initiatives
The two goals of the grassroots Casa Q’eqchi Pandemic Response Project in Guatemala are to provide baskets of food and basic supplies to 180 families for a six-month period, and to provide educational materials about COVID-19 in the Q’eqchi language. The baskets will not feed entire families, but they will provide enough materials to support Elder women and two other family members. These families live in two communities; San Pedro Carcha, and Coban, Alta Verapaz. Each basket costs $50USD (around $70CAD), consisting of essential food, and health and hygiene products to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
