Our partners throughout Mesoamerica take to heart that youth are the future of their efforts, and of their communities.
While many of our partners focus on programs that improve food security for youth and families, they also work to integrate young people into those programs, ensuring learnings and practices are carried forward.
Marvin Lopez Torres is the Co-Manager of TWP’s Mesoamerica Program. Based in Honduras, Marvin originally joined the team as a consultant in 2020, and has since been crucial in deepening our work in his country.
For years, TWP worked in the Apeneca-Illamatepec Biosphere Reserve in El Salvador with our local partner, AAP, helping with reforestation, fire mitigation, environmental education, and food sovereignty projects.
