Mrs. Juana Zelaya is a 57-year-old mother and wife who lives in the community of Las Casitas, 89 kilometers from the capital of Honduras. It is a community with very difficult road access and belongs to what is called the Dry Corridor of southern Honduras.<\/p>\n
Las Casitas is one of the areas with the highest incidence of poverty and water scarcity in Honduras. Local farmers have lost more than 80% of the crops they have planted due to climate change in recent years.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Juana’s life changed when she and her family joined ADRA Honduras’s resilience and sustainable agriculture program.<\/p>\n
She and her family learned to implement innovative agricultural practices to cope with the adverse and changing weather conditions that were affecting their agricultural success.<\/p>\n
To mitigate the effects of the recurrent drought in the area, Mrs. Juana today has a reservoir made from a Ferro cement tank, built by ADRA. With this dual-purpose reservoir, she is now able to capture and maximize water from a small underground source and use it to irrigate her crops.<\/p>\n
In addition to the drip irrigation system, the reservoir is also used for fish (tilapia). The new livelihood has allowed Mrs. Juana to strengthen her family’s income.<\/p>\n
“When I see this plot of land planted,” Mrs. Juana says, “I thank God for the help of ADRA. All this land was empty and full of grass. We have really seen a change in our community. Now we have the means to support our families. We are all happy since we have our water reservoir!”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
