Sustainable Income Plans in Latin America

2015 is the year when we really want to start investing in sustainable income plans which will benefit the families for the future. We have already started though there is still a long way to go: by investing in chickens (Plan Pollo) there will be daily eggs in the household and extra income; similarly with Plan Moo - fresh daily milk and years of subsequent calves which will become milk-producers themselves (if they are female - if they are male they are sold to purchase a female to continue the cycle). Plan Corte, weaving, allows us to purchase large-scale looms which the elderly can use to make traditional textiles to sell in the local markets. Plan Negocio (business) invests in start-up initiatives to bring in income and provide employment.

Currently up and running are Plan Moo in Guatemala and Ecuador; Plan Negocio (business) with Plan Corte and Plan Nixtamal in Guatemala, Plan Estufa in Honduras and Plan Ciber in Nicaragua; Plan Pollo in Guatemala and Ecuador; Plan Huerto (vegetables) in Honduras, Perú and Ecuador; Plan Café in Honduras; Plan Cuy in Ecuador and introducing Plan Tilapia (fish) in Honduras.

Thank you to all our donors who continually help to make this happen and who will make this happen in the future.
