Rural communities in El Salvador continue to face the enduring challenges of poverty, flooding disasters, and a lack of infrastructure and basic resources. Through a collaborative partnership, multi-disciplinary graduate students travel to the Bajo Lempa and help communities accomplish self prescribed goals of economic self-sufficiency and poverty alleviation.
Promotion of sustainable community farming and establishment of local markets will increase community health through diversified diets, require less use of chemical inputs, and reduce dependence on external market prices and profit controls.
Total Funding Received to Date: $530
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $7,470
Total Funding Goal: $8,000
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).
Through a continued partnership with Team Monterey, over 92 communities in rural El Salvador will make significant progress against poverty and successfully advance toward sustained economic self-sufficiency and growth.
I feel that this (MOU signing) is the only way that we can unite and prosper, in the development of the communities which is something that is greatly needed to progress against the poverty we face.
