Give gifts that keep giving!
Fight climate change! Help Nicaragua recover from floods!Give a gift of trees, a wood-saving stove, or a cistern for rainwater in Nicaragua's rural north!
Nicaragua has been devastated by the winds and water of Hurricane Felix and the floods caused by two tropical depressions this season. The damage was aggravated by existing environmental damage to forests and watersheds. Attempting to redress this damage and prevent future disasters, the Federation for the Integral Development of Peasant Farmers (FEDICAMP) continues its “Let the Rivers Run” Campaign, a comprehensive plan for the intelligent management of water and the re-greening of Nicaragua's watersheds.
You can help Nicaragua recover from the recent floods!
Over one million trees planted!
In 2002-2004, FEDICAMP planted 1.2 million trees in three departments (Nueva Segovia, Madriz, and Esteli) and they are in the process of planting 250,000 more. They have also enabled the natural regeneration of forests on more than 1,500 acres of land.
