Description
Lynette Madrigal, 2021-2022 SALT* participant, working at the Fuerza Aerea Guatemalteca (Guatemalan Air Force Base), receiving flights of deportees. Casa del Migrante supports deportees with immediate care, including psychological first aid, phone calls, and plans of return.
*MCC's SALT (Serving and Learning Together) program is a one-year, cross-cultural experience for young adults.
Project Summary
Casa del Migrante provides shelter, food, transportation, medical care, and basic human rights education to 2,000 migrants per year who are in transit, have been deported, or are seeking asylum in Guatemala City. The purpose of the project is to offer services not provided by the government to migrants who leave their places of origin due to lack of economic opportunities, lack of government provision of basic services (health, education, housing, etc.), and violence.
