EcoViva works in partnership and solidarity with community-led organizations in Central America organized to achieve environmental sustainability, economic security, social justice and peace. The vision and implementation of our programs come from our local partners. Our principal area of focus is the Lower Lempa region of El Salvador, though we also do some limited grantmaking in Honduras and Panama. In El Salvador, we work closely with the Mangrove Association, a network of approximately 100 communities living near the Bay of Jiquilisco Biosphere Reserve, the largest intact mangrove forest ecosystem left in Central America. With our financial and technical support, our local partners are implementing a wide variety of locally-led community development initiatives, including environmental conservation, economic development, youth empowerment, potable water, infrastructure and disaster prevention programs. Our Community Empowerment Tours program offers individuals, university groups and congregations the opportunity to travel to El Salvador to learn about and participate in effective, locally-led community development initiatives amidst the beauty of the Bay of Jiquilisco Biosphere Reserve. We work with universities and community groups all over the United States to help them maintain a direct relationship with our partner communities in El Salvador.
