Who will your gift help?

Jose says, "If we organize, we can achieve our goals."

People like José. José lives in San Isidro, a farming community that was hit hard by flooding in 2017. His family lost many of their belongings and their work implements. The community also lost their irrigation well. “Most people here work in agriculture,” José told us. “But we don’t have a reservoir so we have to wait for the rains to plant.”

With support from Heart-Links’ partner Centro Esperanza, the community worked together to recover their well and expand irrigation. They also developed ways to use agricultural waste to feed their small animals, sharing resources so that everybody benefited.

“I’ve always said that if we organize, we can achieve our goals,” says José. “Now people are beginning to participate more. They see we are serious. They see the benefits. It’s the only way we’ll move forward.”
