Mujeres de Islas

Proyecto Siembra - Through the activities of the program, 15 persons offer community service related to planting and creating and community gardens and in turn take different workshops or trainings that in- crease their knowledge and reinforce services. They also receive emo- tional support, work with the development of self-esteem and are acquiring tools to face and manage the challenges of their daily life. The Project is a key piece in educating the community about the bene- fit of traditional and urban agriculture and agroecology. As part of this project, the Siembra Club was created, which encourage children to have a closer relationship with the land. The program is provided in alliance with AmeriCorps.

Proyecto ecoKit(TM) - 10 young people were trained in the construction of 4 wooden houses that serve as laboratory for young children in which they experienced sowing, harvesting, irrigation irrigation sys- tems and renewable energy, among others. Two of these greenhouses were installed in a community Ecological School in order to function as nurseries with rainwater and renewable energy. The ecoKit promotes play related to planting and nature, exposure to experimentation, self experimentation, self-sustainability in the water collection and agro-ecological sowing.
