Guillermo Joromocoj, an agronomist, discusses composting with women in the village of La Estancia, near Cantel, in Guatemala's highland Quetzaltenango province. Joromocoj works for the Fraternidad de Presbiteriales Mayas, which works with women and families in this K’iché-speaking Maya community, providing education, credit, health care, and empowerment. Many of the women in this group weave and embroider, using credit from the Fraternidad to buy materials they need to produce a product they then sell, utilizing the income to better their family’s quality of living.
