The Center for Christian Services Foundation (FUNCEDESCRI) is a nonpartisan, Guatemalan not-for-profit private foundation which promotes social and economic development alternatives among Guatemalan families living in extreme poverty. FUNCEDESCRI maintains a permanent tree nursery, using the seeds and seedlings from selected species in the forest site. They continue to reforest the clear-cut areas and keep in check weeds and brush that invade the reforested areas. There is also small-scale processing of forestry products including lumbar and essential oils from plants. Additionally, villagers, university students, and technicians are trained in sustainable forest management.
