Sustainable Harvest International (SHI) has worked with families in rural
farming communities in Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama since 1997. Using
organic vegetable gardens, wood-conserving stoves, biogas digesters and a host
of other projects, SHI's local field trainers work together with families,
individuals & communities to preserve our planet's tropical forests while
overcoming poverty. Our five-phase approach to solving the agricultural,
ecological and economic problems of Central America is innovative, hands-on and
long-term.
SHI's Smaller World� Tours support farming communities in Central
America by providing meaningful, community-based, service-learning experiences
to current and future supporters of SHI. Days may be spent building
wood-conserving stoves, constructing irrigation systems, planting gardens &
more. SHI participant families & volunteers find this unique exchange to be
unforgettable and inspiring. No special skill or experience is needed, and
families and groups are welcomed.
