CONIC
Everyone knows them, even if mainly from history books: the Maya. They were once a mighty people who built impressive architectural structures. Less is known about the present-day Mayan people, let alone their struggle against marginalisation, discrimination and loss of cultural identity. The Coordinadora Nacional Indígena y Campesina (CONIC) is one of the leaders in this struggle.

has the perfect climate for growing coffee. But the chain from growing to selling is long. For small-scale farmers, this road is both too long and too complex. Hivos partner Promotora de Desarrollo Cooperativo de las Segovias (PRODECOOP) opens this road to farmers so that they can escape poverty.
