We know the UN but who specifically is organizing the caravans? what do their clothes say
“The Future Is Female” shirts, with proceeds going to Girl Up, the United Nations Foundation’s campaign for young women.
https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/partners/ -surely by coincidence Girlup became partner on OCT 18 2018 along with multiple others
one of the countires girlup operates in is of course Guatemala
The white tshirts difficult to read and haven’t found more pics but looks say something like :
tu bienestar es nuestro ____
your welfare is our _____

April 2018 caravan:
The caravan is a yearly event, carried out by the group, Pueblo Sin Fronteras, to dramatize the plight of migrants, driven to seek better lives because of violence and poor economic conditions in their home countries. This year’s caravan was bigger than those in the past. In 2017, only about 200 people participated.
