Peasant Rebeca Perez, 28, collects the eggs she will later sell, in the municipality of Santa Maria Nebaj, Quiche Department, Guatemala, on September 7, 2023. AFPPIX: A brood of chickens cluck in the barn as Rebeca Perez collects eggs to sell in her village in western Guatemala -- an endeavor she hopes will keep her from emigrating to the United States as her brothers did, driven by poverty.
Although curbing migration was never the project's main aim, coordinator Lucrecia Mendez said it has lessened the push factor. In the nearby municipality of San Juan Cotzal, Edwin Lopez, 38, sells chickens and grows maize and beans with modified seeds provided by the NGO. After a nightmarish experience at the hands of smugglers, “hidden, like a slave, without sleeping or eating,“ he was arrested and spent 27 days in detention before being expelled.
