  • Marta Gutierrez lives in the community of La Vainilla, Caraza, Nicaragua. She has taken part in a CIEETS program on diversification and food security supported by CWS. “We have had the idea of improving our living standards for a long time, but it isn’t easy. The honey production has helped us. Some people questioned it, they said it was no good waiting a whole year to see the production. But we have patience, and it’s been good. We have three hives, in logs, and we spent a year before we could divide up the hives into box hives. Now we have three different types of Melipona bees. I’ve already harvested three litres of honey, but it’s not the same as honey you’d find in a shop, the color and smell is different, and it is medicinal, specially for the eyes and for coughs, but also for women, for period pains. Chipiza is really tiny, jicote chipiza is another. I go to all the farmer markets, fairs, I sell mangos, jocotes, vegetables, a bit of everything, even soft cheese, eggs. With this project I’ve been growing new things, citrus fruits, squash, onions”.

  • Fermina Herrera, a village leader from Tres Marias, a mestizo town in the Chaco region in northern Argentina, participates in a meeting about the division of land between her community and indigenous families living in the area. The indigenous Wichi, who traditionally survived as hunter-gatherers, have struggled against the systematic expropriation of their land for over a century by mestizo cattleraisers who migrated into the region from elsewhere in Argentina. In 2014, the two groups finally agreed on a division of the land which recognizes the traditional land rights of the indigenous while resettling many mestizo families, including Salvatierra's, onto non-indigenous land. Church World Service has worked as a partner with local residents as they negotiated the landmark settlement.
