In Honduras, we have established watershed protection, crop diversification, clean cookstove, and tree nursery projects that help both people and the local environment. 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 manage a community-led tree nursery, crop diversification, soil conservation, small-scale irrigation, and latrine projects that help communities protect their natural resources.

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