The goal of FUNCEDESCRI’s work is to empower our partner communities in Campur, Cunén, and Nebaj to achieve food security and food sovereignty through community-led sustainable development. Our work fosters processes that preserve life.

We have collaborated with our partner communities for 20 years and constantly work to refine our strategies for responsible community engagement. We support our communities in many ways.  We share organic farming techniques to promote healthy, productive, and diversified farms; improve access to local markets to increase family income; train community members as health, nutrition, and agricultural promoters; facilitate appropriate technology projects; and encourage the creation of community councils to foster local organization.

Our work towards achieving food security and sovereignty comprises program areas that aim to improve:

• Food Availability
• Economic Access to Food
• Food Consumption for Proper Nutrition
• Appropriate Technology Use for Health, Hygiene, and Access to Water
• Local Organization and Democratic Participation
