More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Community members have few economic resources, and due to their remoteness have little access to education and health services. Most indigenous families survive on small, eroding plots of land with poor soil, which yield very little. To satisfy basic needs, men and older children migrate seasonally to the cities for work, leaving women to assume additional responsibilities in the family and community.

Activities

World Neighbors provides training and support to a network of DEIBCH community educators, who promote sustainable agriculture to increase food production, as well as practices to improve community and reproductive health.
