How many people from Guatemala live in the Americas?
According to the United Nations, 1,450,000 people from Guatemala live in the Americas.
In total, 1,450,000 people from Guatemala live abroad, and about 100% of them live in the Americas.
However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.
Where to meet people from Guatemala in the Americas
No community for people from Guatemala exists in the Americas on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.
As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.
Other diasporas in the Americas
There, the largest diasporas also come from India, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, and the United Kingdom, according to the UN. Each one has its own page on Compatri, with its cities and meetups.
Joining the Guatemala community in the Americas
Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.
You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.
Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.
Guatemala Independence Day in the Americas
Every September 15, the national day brings the Guatemala diaspora together. Locally too, communities organise concerts, meals and gatherings.
The Guatemala diaspora elsewhere in the world
Elsewhere, the Guatemala diaspora also lives in Italy. Each country has its own page, with its cities and meetups.
