Grant Description

Vecinos Honduras (VH) will enable coffee farmers in seven communities in the Azabache zone of the municipality of Danl, department of El Paraso, to reduce their dependency on a single crop, introduce the cultivation of fruits and vegetables and apply "agroecological" practices that protect their soil and water supply.

Training will also help them manage their rural savings and loan associations more effectively. The work will benefit 850 farmers and members of their families directly and another 1,092 Hondurans indirectly.
