Project Report | Apr 28, 2020
April update

Dear Friends,

With your support and that of our partners in Mexico, we brought our project in northern Mexico to a successful close. In total, we:

  • Established 20 community gardens.
  • Installed 18 rain-harvesting systems, 12 wood-saving stoves, and 12 solar pots.
  • Built four solid waste management units.
  • Trained 342 people in the use and maintenance of the different technologies.

The project, which benefited 14 communities located across two Protected Areas in the states of Coahuila and Nuevo León, contributed to increasing the self-reliance of rural families that live in isolated areas, reducing their vulnerability and increasing their wellbeing. 

We hope that you enjoy the photographs that accompany this report and that they may give you a glimpse into the lives of rural Mexican families, and of the positive impact of your kind donations. 

In the coming months, as Mexico and the world come out of the global health crisis, we will continue working towards our mission of improving the living conditions of some of the most vulnerable segments of the population. We hope that you join us on this journey. 

Best wishes to you and yours in these trying times, 

Francisco Ehrenberg
