People & Projects

Ecuador, Small Scale Agriculture This project will reach 50 village families in Ibarra, Ecuador. Thriving Nations has partnered with The Institute of Self Reliant Agriculture and local universities to provide support and education to the participants. We teach the families proper farming techniques, so that they can grow their own farms, feed their children, and strengthen the entire community.

Cambodia, Rice Production This project spans approximately 100 rural villages throughout Cambodia. 3,500 families are currently participating in the project. Participants will receive training about how to increase their annual rice yields. To date, these families have increased rice production by 279%.


Dominican Republic, Food Project Approximately 1,000 subsistence farm families are participating in this project to increase food production. They have built 2.5 miles of irrigation pipeline to provide water for family farms, so they can grow indigenous crops such as avocados, mangoes, and bananas.
Mexico, Gardening Project Six communities are participating in this project. They are developing demonstration gardens where poor families can learn to grow vegetables. Families that want to participate, work as volunteers in the community garden and then receive several containers of vegetable seeds to get started on their own.
Colombia, Family Gardening Project A local university in Popayan, Colombia has provided land for a demonstration garden and classes where families can receive hands-on and classroom gardening instruction.
