Our partnership with Árboles y Agua para el Pueblo (AAP) in El Salvador has been going strong for over 2 decades. Together, we have developed a grassroots-led conservation program that includes rainwater catchment cisterns, tree nurseries for reforestation and watershed protection work, clean cookstoves, dry-composting latrines, women's entrepreneurship initiatives and forest and spring protection.

Through this partnership we have installed 6 ferrocement water tanks and one more is currently under construction. One of them, in El Caserio el Sunza, benefits around 60 people. “We have improved hygiene, which is really important, more so now because of Covid-19.The whole community now has access to potable water which every human being should have ” - Guadalupe Portillo, Presidenta de la Junta de Agua, Caserio el Sunza.
