The Xepiacul project is run by a community organisation consisting of 25 women and one man, with a strong emphasis on empowering local women. The community is indigenous K'iché. The project focus is on producing local faba bean and potato crops, using self-produced organic fertilisers and pesticides. The group will also create their own tree nursery and reforest pine and alder trees.
Training workshops will be given in soil conservation, lombriculture, tree nurseries, gender themes, organisational skills and commercialisation. The group will sell part of the tree seedlings to sustain the nursery and the project in the long run.
