The Center for Ecological Agriculture Has Grown

Mano a Mano started building our Center for Ecological Agriculture (CEA) on the outskirts of Cochabamba, Bolivia in 2012. The goal of the CEA was to demonstrate good agricultural practices in action for rural Bolivian communities, and the site has been growing over the past 6 years to include many more tools & techniques.

Also, 3 out of 4 Mano a Mano’s counterpart organizations are now on the same site as the CEA, which helps with integrating some of our projects, such as the sorting and distribution of donated supplies shipped from Minnesota.

Initially, the land where the CEA was built was nothing special, but with the hard work of Mano a Mano staff and volunteers it has continued to grow. Check out the photos below to see how much it has changed:
