The Roots

The roots. Since TWP’s early days, migration has played a constant role in the social dynamics of Central America. The civil wars In Central America caused mass displacement of rural and Indigenous communities throughout the 1980’s and ‘90’s, and rural-to-urban migration began to accelerate. By investing in rural know-how and developing solutions such as clean household energy, reforestation, rainwater catchment and storage, and livelihood diversification (i.e. via agroforestry and spice value-chains), TWP has helped create jobs, improve health, and diversify income in areas that have been long neglected. Improving standards of living and connectivity in rural areas is one way TWP has helped slow outbound migration from these important agrarian economies.
