A project with Kiva.org (US organization) and FAPE (Guatemalan microfinance organization) took us to villages, towns and one slum (in Villa Nueva) surrounding Guatemala City. We met women using small loans to build or expand their businesses (small shops, weaving, candle-making, shoe-making).
So while these photos are connected to our stay in Guatemala City, most are not from Guatemala City per se. Instead, they are intended to give an idea of how people live in small towns and villages in the vicinity of Guatemala City.
