Rayo de Sol's Community Development Program

Community Development requires long-term partnerships and direct participation of families in the communities that we serve. We work to create lasting change through these critical activities:

Vocational Training: We coordinate with the local government to offer vocational courses in areas like sewing, baking, cooking, carpentry and mechanics so that adolescents and adults can develop critical job skills.
Family Business Development: We train families in entrepreneurship and provide micro-loans to start family businesses.
Sustainable Farming: We work with small farmers to implement biointensive farming, food forestry and other soil and water conservation practices.
Fuel-efficient Stoves: We install fuel-efficient stoves that eliminate smoke from homes and also reduces firewood consumption by 50%, which slows deforestation.
Rain Harvesting: In communities where water is scarce, we install rain harvesting systems and filters, to provide potable water to families.
Latrines: We build sanitary latrines for families, in order to improve health and hygiene and also reduce contamination.
