关于我们
Trees, Water & People (TWP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Stuart Conway and Richard Fox in 1998, in Fort Collins, Colorado with the mission to improve people’s lives by helping communities to protect, conserve, and manage the natural resources upon which their long-term well-being depends. ? Nationally, we are actively involved with helping to improve the lives of Native American families living on the reservations of the Great Plains. In these areas, where the winters are extremely long and harsh, Native Americans commonly spend more than half of their income on exorbitant utility bills. Together with our reservation-based partner, Lakota Solar Enterprises, we have built 800 economic solar heating systems and trained more than 180 tribal members in residential and facility-scale renewable energy applications. ? Internationally, we work extensively in Central America and Haiti. Together, with our country-based partners, we support 20 community tree nurseries that produce 350,000 trees annually to aid in reforestation efforts, planting nearly 5 million trees to date. In addition, we have built more than 58,000 clean cookstoves. Each cookstove decreases a family’s need for firewood by 50-70%, as compared to standard open fire cooking, and reduces carbon emissions by at least 1.5 tons per year. In addition to cookstoves and tree planting, we have introduced thousands of solar lights to rural communities who live each day without access to any electricity.

As part of the regional initiative, Magda facilitates capacity building and knowledge exchange amongst community-based organizations in Guatemala.

For the women of La Colectiva, a path of healing – their land, their people, and themselves? – is the foundation of their ongoing work in Guatemala. With the support of TWP and Q’anil, a Guatemala-based feminist organization, the women of La Colectiva spent the past year participating in a training program to develop their organizational capacity. The program started, though, with looking inward – building the space of self-exploration, safety, and mutual support they hope to bring to others. Learn more about how this group will support women of community-based organizations throughout the region through network-building, training, and group counseling in our blog:?
