Information about the People We Help
Who are the people that Casa Colibrí helps?
Casa Colibrí helps the indigenous Maya of northwest Guatemala who are needy in the extreme. Many of the people are refugees who fled their ancestral land during the 36-year genocidal civil war. Even though they returned home after the Peace Accords were signed in 1996, they still lack basic services such as clean water, electricity, and sanitation.
