We are a Non-Profit Organization

Xch’ool Ixim is proactive in fighting to return vitality and strength to Q’eqchi Maya culture – not only to our language, traditional dress, customs and traditions, but also to our traditional knowledge, authorities, cultural values and principles, to ensure our development is rooted in Q’eqchi Maya culture. We also work to promote knowledge and understanding of our true history, our rights, identity and dignity; and to raise awareness of our social, cultural and economic circumstances.
