Long Way Home is a small Guatemala-based nonprofit registered as a US 501(c)3 that seeks to advance democracy and promote economic and environmental justice through green building, employment, and education. The organization is based in Zona 9, Ciudad de Guatemala, and its current project is the construction of a K-12 vocational school in San Juan Comalapa, employing unconventional building methods and reclaimed materials, including rammed-earth components, tires, and plastic bottles filled with inorganic waste. The initiative aims to expand local educational opportunities by equipping youth with practical, marketable skills that support future civic and entrepreneurial activity.

The project targets teenagers and young adults in the rural community of Comalapa, addressing gaps in access to education and the local job market. It also seeks to foster environmental stewardship by integrating sustainability into the curriculum, reflecting a shift toward environmental awareness in the community. Positioned at the intersection of construction and education within the broader aim of environmental justice, the effort operates as a relatively small, community-focused endeavor.
