STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES
THROUGH EDUCATION, HEALTH, AND SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS
Natik partners with grassroots organizations in marginalized communities in Guatemala and Mexico through flexible funding and organizational support.
Natik contributes to the elimination of extreme poverty through these mission-based strategies:
Education for Empowerment
Unlocking Potential, Igniting Futures. Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Through initiatives like the Ruk’ux Scholarship Program and the Yo’onik Learning Center, we strive to provide quality education to every child, fostering a love for learning.
Community Sustainability
Empowering locals and tackling poverty at Its Roots. Natik believes in community-based sustainability that goes beyond poverty relief, by addressing the root causes of poverty.
Healthcare for Well-Being
Natik collaborates with community-based grassroots organizations that share information about nutrition, sanitation, and other fundamental health needs to underserved populations, contributing to healthier, happier communities.
Providing Grants and Accompaniment for Long-Term Impact
Natik believes in a world where even the most marginalized people have the tools to transform their communities from within.
Cultural Connection and Empowerment.
Celebrating Diversity, Fostering Leadership.

Natik in an Intrepid Times Article
Good news: We were recently linked to (but not named) in an article published in Intrepid Times. It was written by a woman who participated in a professor-led Portland State University capstone class fifteen years ago.
Natik has changed considerably since then, so the program she refers to doesn’t exist anymore, but we are thrilled that the experience was so powerful that she wanted to write about it fifteen years later!
