In Guatemala, gruelling heatwaves and extreme weather are destroying Aurelia’s farm. She worries deeply about how much harvest the family will have to eat and sell:
‘Climate change has been killing our crops, and this is our food.’
The roots of this cruel injustice run deep. Indigenous communities like Aurelia’s have done the least to cause the climate crisis, yet they endure its impact the most. But the unstoppable power of hope is in the hands of farmers like Aurelia, as she leads her community in the fight to overcome the challenges they face.
Aurelia is holding hope in her hands.

The climate crisis is killing Amelia’s precious crops. Dying crops means food stops.
‘I worry about what my children will eat.’- Amelia
She relies on the land to feed her eight-year-old son, Lázaro, and four-year-old daughter, Yakelin.
As her farm is devastated, the search for solutions becomes critical. And that comes through changing the way she farms. With the support of specialist training from our partner, Congcoop, Amelia’s planting resilient crops, conserving water and making fertiliser.
