Enlace Civil

Enlace Civil organization does not offer projects to communities. Rather, it takes community demands and serves as a bridge to those in other parts of Mexico and in the international community. In doing so, it builds solidarity with Indigenous Peoples in Chipas as they work toward lekil kuxlejal – also known as buen vivir, meaning “living well” – an Indigenous worldview about living in harmony with Mother Earth.

Enlace Civil works primarily to disseminate information from Indigenous communities in Chiapas; channel national and international support to strengthen the development of autonomous Indigenous communities in Chiapas, in accordance with the needs and criteria proposed by the people themselves; and accompany community actions and projects in the struggle for more just and democratic living conditions. Current projects that Enlace Civil supports include education, health care, agroecology, production, and marketing.
