About the Community

"The municipality of San Jacinto, located in the department of Chiquimula, is part of the central region of eastern Guatemala. Geographically, it is characterized by a transitional climate, ranging from hot and dry in the lowlands to temperate in the highlands, placing it within the Dry Corridor's area of ​​influence. With a population of approximately 14,000, its economy is primarily agricultural, where subsistence farming (corn and beans) coexists with high-altitude coffee production and regional trade. In terms of education, the municipality serves as a training hub for the microregion, concentrating secondary and technical education services in its urban center to meet the demand from its numerous villages. Public health is managed through a Health Center in the municipal seat and a network of rural Health Posts, with a strong focus on water security and sanitation to combat malnutrition and chronic diseases. Mobility varies: while the town center enjoys paved connections to the national highway, rural communities depend on a complex network of dirt roads with rugged terrain, where four-wheel-drive vehicles are essential. The comprehensive development of San Jacinto is currently focused on modernizing public infrastructure, sustainably managing natural resources, and reducing the isolation of its most remote villages to promote social equity."
