SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY PROJECT

Towns, communities, and neighborhoods across the world have used art as a means for renewal, social change, and economic development. In simple words, art inspires life. Let’s Paint a better, brighter future for the communities surrounding Lake Atitlán.

The Project

Santa Catarina Palopó is one of the 19 municipalities of Sololá, Guatemala and it borders part of the Northeastern side of Lake Atitlan. It spans 8 square kilometers and is home to 6,000 inhabitants, most of whom identify as Maya Kakchikel and are under the age of 30.

Due to the demographic growth of the area, the profitability of traditional economic activities such as agriculture and fishing has been reduced to the point of not being a sustainable option for families.

Casa Palopo is the official sponsor of this project and we would like to invite you to join us and create change.
