Greetings everyone!
On behalf of PIES de la Tierra A.C., we are excited to share the latest updates on our collaborative efforts with indigenous communities in the Sierra Tarahumara. These milestones represent a holistic approach to addressing critical challenges in the region, made possible through your invaluable support.
This year, we have continued to strengthen our partnerships with the communities through community meetings and workshops, fostering active participation and shared responsibility. Thanks to the generosity of new and ongoing donors, we are advancing on several fronts:
These components come together to give the project a unique integrality, tackling interconnected challenges in hygiene, health, and water access. The latrines significantly improve sanitation, reducing waterborne diseases, while the rainwater harvesting systems provide clean, accessible water. Meanwhile, the reforestation efforts contribute to environmental restoration, ensuring the recharge of springs and long-term water sustainability.
Transporting materials to these remote locations is no small task, but with the determination and collective strength of the local indigenous communities, we are making extraordinary progress. We’ve documented part of this journey in a video showing the delivery of Rotoplas water tanks, showcasing the incredible effort behind the scenes.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all our individual donors and our institutional partners, including FECHAC, United Way Chihuahua, GlobalGiving, Young Living Foundation, Smart Supermercados, Aptiv, and Lear. Your support is creating a profound, lasting impact on these communities, paving the way for a healthier, more sustainable future.
Thank you for walking this journey with us. Together, we are transforming lives and landscapes, step by step. Let’s continue building resilience, hope, and sustainability in these remarkable communities!
With gratitude,
The PIES de la Tierra A.C. Team
