Since 2013, FTPF helped pave the way towards a healthier future for Salvadorans by planting and distributing fruit trees throughout the country, including with families, schools, and women’s groups. Working closely with two respected NGOs, SHARE El Salvador and CONFRAS, we have launched a ten-year plan to plant thousands of fruit trees each year. Some families are already supporting themselves through income from their orchards: “We have been able to feed ourselves, make money, and have noticed a change in the environment. Thank you for all the effort you have put in towards the success of our land.” -Don Pedro Juan de Jesus Avarca (pictured) standing next to a mango tree we planted at his home.

We invite you to join us by volunteering for a week-long fruit tree planting eco-adventure every July. Activities include planting trees and interacting with schools and families and learning about best practices from our arborists. On the last day, there is an excursion to reflect and visit some of Central America’s most important historical sites. A select number of volunteers may be invited to join the FTPF to on to the next project in Guatemala. Please indicate if you are interested in the Guatemala portion of this opportunity in your application (available on our website).

For the past decade and half, climate change and extreme weather patterns have become the routine and unpredictability of weather has led to crop failure in most of the cases. Diverse indigenous varieties of seeds are highly suited to local extreme weather conditions thereby providing an insurance against sudden weather extremes due to climate change. Indigenous seeds which are locally adapted lead to better resilience in agriculture than introduced varieties.

Small farmers are the main providers of food and nutritional security of the nation and most of them are under rain fed conditions, but have limited access to technology, input, capital, credit and markets and have low marketable surplus and profits and suffer from multiple deprivation. These small farmers are highly vulnerable to shocks due to climate change in their livelihoods.This project will focus on strengthening the livelihoods of small farmers by contributing to enhancing the resilience of their livelihoods in the context of impacts due to climate changes. The emphasis will be on diversification through indigenous seeds, increase in yield and cost reduction.
