Empowering Poor, Rural Girls in Paraguay
Paraguay
,
Education
In the last old growth forest zone of Paraguay, 90% of girls are pregnant by age 14. Others are sold into the human trafficking trade, work in prostitution, married off at a young age, or working grueling hours taking care of the country's privileged class as maids and nannies. Our financially self-sustaining agroforestry school in Paraguay's Mbaracayu Forest Reserve empowers and provides a skill base for the country's poorest and most vulnerable girls to overcome extreme poverty.

Climate Change
Junior Scientists at Iracambi is an Environmental Ed program that transforms schoolchildren in Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest into forest guardians. Through hands-on education they learn the science of forestry, collect data on soils and water, and share their discoveries with their families, gaining a new understanding of the forest as a resource to be nurtured and not exploited. Sound conservation practices will qualify farm families for government funding, helping both forests and people.
