The Big Picture
The project area is in dire need of clean drinking water and sewage and solid waste management systems. Currently raw sewage and trash are being dumped onto beaches and community docks, polluting the ocean, which is essential for both its economic value and value as a source of food. Fifteen communities live in this area whose inhabitants predominantly live in poverty.
EcoLogic Development Fund helps poor, rural communities to become environmental stewards by providing them the tools they need to manage their natural resources and improve their living conditions.
