Mission
The mission of Amigos de Santa Cruz is to help improve the lives of the people of Santa Cruz through support for education and economic development. We envision Santa Cruz communities where all families have access to good health and sustainable sources of income; where schools provide quality education to all children; and where women, men and youth have an active voice in decisions that impact their communities.
About
Vocational programs with leadership and input from the local community, Amigos opened Cecap (Centro de Capacitacion / Training Center) in 2010. Each year, over 300 adults and youth take part in vocational training programs in Cecap that include sewing, beading, weaving, carpentry, welding, computation, and culinary arts, among others. We run two social enterprise businesses connected to Cecap that provide work opportunities to our students and income for the organization. Manos Cruzenas is an artisan store selling beautiful local handicrafts. Cafe Sabor Cruceno is a graduate-run cafe serving traditional Guatemalan cuisine that is a favorite of travelers to Lake Atitlan.
