Description
Left to right, Santos Abraham Corrales, Jesus Corrales and Fredy Alexander Montoya stand in front of the hillside with fields interspersed with fieldstone erosion barriers constructed in a rations-for-work program.
Personal/Project impact
The erosion barriers improve field conditions by reducing soil runoff during heavy rains.
There were 300 participants in the food distribution and initial participants in the stone erosion barrier construction. However, as farmers worked together on each other's plots, there was some spontaneous participation and in the end 353 farmers constructed a total of 10,313 meters of erosion barriers. These were built on land that belonged to these farming families.
