Please note / At Ayzoh!, we often find ourselves working in challenging or even dangerous conditions, both for our team and for the communities we serve. For this reason, we cannot disclose all the details of our ongoing projects on our website.
However, for those who wish to stay informed — sponsors, donors, friends, and collaborators — we provide regular updates through our newsletter, where we can safely share step-by-step stories of what is happening on the ground.
In this project, Ayzoh! is committed to amplifying the social gospel message among the indigenous Maya peoples of Guatemala and Chiapas. The focus is on the Gospel’s call for social justice, human dignity, and freedom: principles that resonate deeply with indigenous communities seeking liberation from entrenched marginalization.
This project dives into the heart of syncretism, where the social and political essence of the Gospel meets the Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Maya. This initiative is not only critical for the tens of thousands living in precarious social, cultural, and political situations, but it also holds universal inspiration for anyone around the world who believes in the power of social justice and spiritual liberation.
Ayzoh! is supporting the fight against the environmental damage caused by the invasive “water hyacinth” in the Presa Allende reservoir, near San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
This issue, stemming from water contamination and poor political management of water resources, heavily impacts the social and economic lives of the small communities surrounding the reservoir.
For instance, the death of fish caused by the hyacinth has made fishing impossible, forcing many to risk illegal migration to the United States with all the dangers and consequences that entails. Local communities have initiated spontaneous movements to combat this environmental crisis, like organizing hundreds of volunteers to clean the water bodies.
Yet, the scale of the problem is overwhelming; it is an unequal battle. Thousands of people need their voices heard at local, national, and international levels to find sustainable solutions to this ongoing crisis.
Ayzoh! is a non-profit organization and a movement that connects people and their causes through the transformative power of visual storytelling. Through photography, social research, design, and publishing, we create communication and advocacy tools that foster trust, collaboration, and mutual support. Our work bridges communities, organizations, and individuals, weaving a diverse global community that drives lasting change and unity.
