Caterina Mendez

Caterina Mendez, a visionary from Germany, is on a mission to tackle interconnected global issues by bridging the gap between European consumers and marginalized women in Latin America. With a deep understanding of how pollution in Latin American rivers impacts Europeans, Caterina aims to raise awareness about the root causes of ecological devastation and inspire collective action towards sustainable solutions. Born in Guatemala, she has witnessed firsthand the consequences of lack of awareness on environmental issues and is determined to make a difference.

As a student in Europe, Caterina envisions creating a platform that not only connects consumers with local producers but also empowers women in Latin America to become ambassadors for change. Through her initiative, she seeks to build bridges of consciousness between different regions, fostering a sense of global solidarity and responsibility. Caterina believes that by sharing the stories behind their products, her team can inspire meaningful engagement and drive positive impact on both local communities and global markets.
