Grown from the extensive experience of community organizers with the knowledgeable leadership of the village cooperative founding member, Juana María Pérez, we have been able to address profound areas of environmental injustice and effects of neoliberal trade policies. This community work has been guided by agricultural and cultural practices of communal living, restorative justice and ancestral knowledge.

Since 2005 we have been able ensure a school lunch program that offer food grown locally by the community, build a community pharmacy, establish an emergency medical fund, offer educational scholarships for both secondary and university attendees, build composting latrines for each household, create gray water systems models for discarded household water use, establish a community trash system for the village, and hold annual community cultural gatherings.

In addition, over the years we have also proudly worked in solidarity with the communities of:

El Viejo, Las Iguanas, El Pajarito, Las Lajas, Las Brisas, San Nicolás, Matagalpa and El Reparto Schick
