IRS990/Desc0Sme tsunubil Mother Seeds in Resistance is a decades long project to protect heritage seeds, support efforts to enhance contemporary agricultural practices and recoup the knowledge of previous generations to live in harmony with Mother Nature. For people who rely on their own efforts to grow the food that will sustain their families, no one doubts the real impact of climate change. Grass Roots Events and Schools for Chiapas are working on several fronts to demonstrate and test out new agricultural techniques, to grow out the plants and help develop the skills related to regenerative carbon sink farming techniques and supporting forest management and agricultural practices that lead to a healthy vibrant ecosystem.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Food Security and Community Safety. Though not widely reported in the mainstream press, the security situation in Chiapas has become increasingly perilous. Narco traficante violence is on the rise. Aid workers and clergy are kidnapped in the course of doing their work. Paramilitary forces seem to have carte blanche to invade communities, burn homes and businesses, shoot high caliber weapons at will to discourage coffee farmers from working their fields and erect barriers to prevent the rightful stewards of the land from planting the crops that are critical for the survival of their families. As a result, hunger is real. Water sources are being compromised. Ecosystems are being threatened. International peace keepers are now on site and Grass Roots Events - Schools for Chiapas will continue to find ways to support those Indigenous families who are on the front lines of this struggle to live peacefully in their homes and work their lands.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Despite rampant rates of infection, the Indigenous people in Chiapas were largely ignored and often prevented from accessing basic government run health care during the pandemic. Grass Roots Events - Schools for Chiapas supported efforts of the autonomous Mayan communities to survive the pandemic using the best scientific information available while relying on ancient indigenous traditions of mutual support, collective production, and community cohesion. During FY2021, we continued to supprt the Bodega de Salud Warehouse of Health by supplying rural Mayan towns and villages with high quality personal protective equipment PPE as well as equipment and supplies for producing natural medicines using traditional and new herbal formulations.
