In vulnerable communities across the world, local heroes are leading and equipping others to live out their faith, promote justice, battle poverty, and bring positive change.

One of UNUM’s program sites is located in Jicamapa, a town in the county of Ipala, in the state of Chiquimula. It’s a part of the region known as the “dry corridor”. The area often experiences drought or too much rain, creating a harsh environment where crops don’t flourish.

The old adage “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” is not only something we’ve seen to be true when it comes to building programs that are successful and sustainable, but it’s true when it comes to the holistic development of people, too!
Community is an integral part of learning and growth. The right community brings out our strengths and complements our weakness with their own areas of strength.
