The project seeks to strengthen community resilience in the face of climate variation and the effects of social and economic inequalities. The initiative includes a process of applying agroecology as a resilience model in repairing and constructing chicken coops and compost latrines for 30 women and their families in El Bajo Lempa, El Salvador. Training and technical support will be provided with an approach based on the sustainable use of natural resources.
The effects of climate variation affect food production. Added to this are the inequalities that women face in rural communities. That is why it is necessary to look for alternatives not only to solve the problem of food security but also to strengthen the capacities of women to develop resilient solutions.
The project will train 30 additional women in agroecological techniques to grow their food through understanding of productive techniques and elements such as soil quality, water, shade, organic matter as fertilizer, and natural repellents. Materials and tools will be provided for repairing or building chicken coops and composting latrines by using resilient models that can weather the effects of any natural phenomenon. These women will share experiences through exchange activities.
Supporting a model of resilience is vital to strengthening the capacities of women to improve food security for them and their families. Gender inequalities in El Bajo Lempa will be reduced by training women and supporting exchanges between women to learn and support one another. Using resilience models of raising chickens and crops will generate knowledge among families who are facing the effects of climate change, economic issues, and injustice.
