The effects of the pandemic, caused by Covid-19, hit people all over the world. Many who have fallen sick are in mortal danger, countries were in months-long lockdowns and the economic consequences of the security measures caused unemployment, poverty and hunger.
In Guatemala, in early April 2020 white flags first appeared in Guatemala City, hanging from houses as a sign that those who live there have no more income and suffer from hunger. Shortly after, these flags were spread all over the country as a symbol for those in need.
We are witness to this situation, as our coffee-import of Meet Los Amigos has been based in Guatemala since the beginning of 2020. We see our neighbors in need and have decided to do everything we can to help them.
More than 60% of the population live in poverty, especially in the rural regions of the country, where the majority are indigenous people.
