Resilience is the Key!

What is resilience for us?

We believe resilience is how the communities respond to the difficulties of climate change. Sometimes people think the response to climate is related only to floods or earthquakes and so on. Resilience is how farmers and families in El Bajo Lempa prepare themselves, respond, and adapt to climate change. How we did the last months:

  • 6 composting latrines were built to help families with their sanitation and prevent groundwater contamination.
  • 2 new chicken coops to support women with their food security.
  • 5 chicken coops were improved with a new structure for chickens in case of flooding.
  • Supported families with training about organic farming
  • 2 irrigation systems installed to grow vegetables at home levels

Why composting latrines?

Composting Latrines helps families prevent groundwater contamination, reduce air contamination, and prevent the spread of diseases caused by human excrement. Those are the reasons we want to keep helping families in El Bajo Lempa, El Salvador, with these small structures that are also adapted to climate change.

What happened with the chicken coops?

We are improving the design so families can protect their chicks when it rains or floods. This is not just an adaptation to climate change; it is resilience learned from the difficulties.

Thanks also to a generous contribution from the Congregational Church in Iowa City and Kenoli Foundation, we are helping more people build composting latrines and chicken coops. And this is not the end, because more people need those structures in their homes.

Once we get more support, there will be other sources to increase our work, so, we ask you to keep supporting our projects in different ways.

With love from El Salvador,
