Charity Challenges for 2020 and CSR

Phase three target communities in Guatemala
Phase three target communities in Guatemala

As our school in Itzapa becomes more self-sufficient and taking control of its own direction we can start thinking about phase three of our work in Guatemala: replicating what we have learned over the past seventeen years to sustainably help other communities. This includes adding recent graduates into rural schools where the teacher/class ratio is often 1-3 whilst helping them with University costs and adding sustainable income plans. We aim to focus on communities in Huehuetenango, Lake Atitlán and the “dry corridor” areas of Chiquimula, Jocotán and Camotán over the next few years.

Business can play a huge role in education, employment generation and supporting communities and is an area where we, as Phoenix, would like to explore further over the coming years to benefit the countries in Latin America – not just our projects though other communities as well. If you would like more information on how your company could get involved in the future please do contact me on dom@thephoenixprojects.org

Our recent Whole Foods Market trip in Guatemala saw them visiting their micro-credit partners in Huehuetenango, funding and helping to build a kitchen for a family at Lake Atitlán and reforesting an area on Pacaya Volcano.

Following on from our excellent Phoenix Charity Challenges in Perú and Ecuador we will be doing it all again in 2020 with the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu dates from Saturday 23rd-30th May and Ecuador volcanoes from Saturday 30th May-6th June. It is a fantastic way to economically tick off Machu Picchu and volcano hiking from your bucket list whilst raising funds for Phoenix! We will need confirmations of places for the Inca Trail by the end of September so if you are interested please follow the link below and please do contact us soon so you don’t miss out as there are limited places on the trail.
