About This Cause
Starting in 1997 and emerging gradually in response to community needs in Tlamacazapa, Mexico (a complex setting of 8,000+ people), Atzin programs cut across four sectors: Health and Healing; Income Generation for Women; Community Education and Literacy; and Environment, Water and Sanitation. The programs are based on principles of social participation; investigation with action; and environmental and economic sustainability. Today, each program has many activities run by local women with technical assistance from Atzin. A 2024 program annual report is posted at www.atzin.org under "Reports & Documents," summarizing the current situation in Tlamacazapa. We concentrated our work in this one setting because of its sheer complexity and a growing recognition that this village is a microcosm of our world situation, constituting a unique situation for action and reflection. Every advance has been hard won under difficult circumstances.
