Sustainable Income Plans in Latin America

I hope all is well with you. Thanks to your donations, our regular monthly donors, those getting involved in Charity Challenges this coming year and other fundraising events, the following is what we have planned for 2024 and how all your donations will make a huge difference to the communities where we work in Latin America.

The implementation of our sustainable income plans in each country will once again be one of our priorities this year.     

In Guatemala we plan to expand Plan Costura (sewing business) to help single mothers and University students cover extra costs of their education. Plan Huerto (school vegetable gardens) will provide quality food in the schools and Plan Reforestation aims to offset the carbon footprint of The Phoenix Projects including all internal local teachers’ transport and international flights for Charity Challenges and the Impington International College school trip to Perú.

In Ecuador the purchase of cows in Plan Moo will carry on during 2024 as we strive to sustainably cover some of the project's core costs so we can help out with more one-off critical projects in the community, similar to helping the family with their house in December, and also helping other communities over the coming years.  

In Perú vegetables from our Plan Huerto will enhance the daily diet of the children with extra produce being shared with the families in their homes. We will also fund cultural celebrations during the year. We will continue to employ a member of the community part-time to look after the garden as well as help with maintenance when it is needed. Mothers will also help out in the garden in exchange for vegetables to take home.  

The Impington International College school trip in June will continue their work on Plan Huerto as well as small construction projects in the school and one-on-one teaching.  

All the best for 2024 and thank you in advance for your continued support during it!

Cheers
