Home with Dignity: Supporting Returned Maya Youth

Tax deductible
Across the United States, immigrant communities are facing some of the most violent and unsettling attacks in recent years. Immigrants—young and old—are being detained, deported, and separated from their families. Like you, we feel the urgency to respond.

Throughout this year, Colectivo Vida Digna has accompanied a growing number of people in detention and those returned to Guatemala, even as funding for pro-immigrant organizations like ours is cut.

In Guatemala, Colectivo Vida Digna walks alongside families impacted by detention, deportation, and family separation, rooted in Maya principles of buen vivir (good living).

Every gift strengthens Mayan families and honors our heritage.
Cada aporte fortalece a las familias Mayas y honra nuestro legado.

Your donation helps provide:
  • $50 – Phone credit, transport, and basic necessities for a recently returned youth.
  • $100 – A home visit with counseling and educational orientation.
  • $250 – A vocational workshop to build on young people's skills for access to dignified work.
  • $500 – Natural medicine, nutrition and agricultural guidance for family food security.
  • $1,000 – Scholarship for one youth to pursue secondary education or vocational training.
  • $5,000 – A small business launch with training and mentorship.

Join our collective. Únete a nuestro colectivo.

Your solidarity helps keep Indigenous families together, protects our cultural heritage, and builds a dignified future for Maya youth and their communities.
