Train-the-trainer
In the department or Huehuetenango MealFlour runs a train the trainer program with community leaders. The training takes the leaders through the process of mealworm farming along with how to train other people in their community. The group of leaders works together to maintain a farm and build their own farm at the end of the course. MealFlour supports each leader so that they can go on to train other members of their community.
Mealworm farming training: Candelaria
In October 2016, MealFlour started work with the community of Candelaria, located outside Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. In Candelaria, MealFlour ran charlas (discussion-based classes) on the importance of nutrition, introduction to mealworms, and the basics of mealworm farming. The program lasted for 6 months.
