Project will promote natural medicine through seed collection, planting and production of native species of medicinal plants, under organic farming methods, at the multiple use zone of the Lake Atitlán protected area. The project activities and yields will complement an on-going project of community pharmacies (funded by another NGO) on five communities. The medicinal plants orchards will be established on small plots owned by 60 indigenous women. Project activities include training on organic farming techniques and methods for solar dehydration and processing of the plants produced for their commercialization on the communities pharmacies.
