Support communities recovering from COVID-19

As we get resources we move forward with our goals. El Bajo Lempa is working to create community resilience to respond to any phenomenon or emergency during floods or droughts. Some of the activities we have done already and with the support of other donors include:

• Training people about leadership. This allowed leaders from 10 communities to analyze how they become leaders and how to improve some of the processes they do within the community.
• Supporting farmers with technical assistance. Our team is always working with men and women who do farming. For us, it is important that the communities get support about how to grow more nutritious food.
• Strategic Planning Training. We started a strategic planning with 10 communities, so they are able to analyze the best strategies to support the communities and meet their mission and vision.

Cases of COVID-19 have reduced, but its effects are there and the economic issues in our country are generating other issues that people cannot control. It is important to keep doing activities to train people about how to do agriculture in a sustainable way, looking for other sources of income, and providing some tools for their activities.

We have a long way to walk, and we think we can do it with the support of our friends.

We want to thank the ones who have been collaborating with us. Please spread the word about our work with your colleagues and friends.

Thank you so much!
