TWP has established watershed protection, crop diversification, and tree nursery projects in Honduras. We have concentrated these efforts in the Guacerique watershed outside of Tegucigalpa. The Guacerique is a very critical watershed because it supplies 30% of the drinking water for the people of Tegucigalpa.  To protect this vital resource, we have established a tree nursery, begun crop diversification, soil conservation, small-scale irrigation, and latrine projects in this region to help these communities protect their natural resources.

Honduras is also the site of our clean cookstove emissions testing, funded by the 2005 Ashden Award.
