When the women of San Juan, Honduras began to rebuild their lives after Hurricane Mitch, they sought EcoLogic s assistance with something very basic seeds to grow vegetables to supplement their diets and income. As these seeds were being planted, EcoLogic also provided training on organic fertilizers, deforestation, and topsoil erosion. Because their vegetables and homes needed a stable water supply, the women rallied their communities to safeguard their land and water in ways never before seen in the Pico Bonito National Park region. Before EcoLogic, we didn t know how to grow gardens. We ate only rice, beans, and corn there wasn t money for anything else.
