  • Bessi, a young woman who makes a living as a tortilla seller, rests in a hammock in Rivera Hernández, a particularly poor area of San Pedro Sula, Honduras. There is no formal employment in the area and many people live in acute poverty. The neighbourhoods on the edges of the river here are not recognised by the municipality and are provision of basic services is unstable, water has been cut off to the thousands of households here for four weeks and electricity is routinely black out. Gangs control the area and violence is endemic, children are recruited to the gangs or killed, girls are often raped. People are deperate to leave the area and many make the perilous journey to the US as illegal migrants or 'mojados'. Thousands of migrants are repatriated to Honduras each month. ACT Alliance members in Honduras provide support services to repatriated child migrants and their families.

  • Jesús with his aunt Eda, resting in hammocks  “I am studying, and I want to carry on studying. I still don’t know what I want to do. I want a good job though.<br />
<br />
Most people around here make a living fishing. We eat a lot of fish here. And we’ve got our own food - machuca, estofado, casave, marote. Grown ups drink gífiti sometimes. And we have our own culture of stories, customs and dances. The whole country knows punta - that’s our dance.<br />
<br />
We live in a community here - the Garifina community. That’s not like living anywhere else. We live as families but also as a community. We’re not on our own.<br />
<br />
I understand Garifuna, but don’t speak it much yet. <br />
<br />
The Garifuna people have a strong struggle to keep its ancestral land as people want to take it off us.”

  • Jesus Struggling with Climate Change<br />
<br />
Jesús García Hernández, Los Horcones, Langue, Valle<br />
<br />
"The drought has been going on for ten years. It’s due to climate change. Winters were good before. But now we’ve had years without water here. We’ve got dry streams, rivers and wells. We lose our seeds and fertilizers; we even lose our hope sometimes.<br />
<br />
There are families here who haven’t had a harvest for ten years. We’ve all just lost another harvest. We prepared the soil, put in the seeds and fertilizers and, when the first bit of rain came, the plants began growing. Then the rain stopped. We got nothing. Then the rain came again but it was too late. After ten years of drought the people here have used up their reserves and there’s desperation.<br />
 <br />
We’ve had to deepen the wells, but they still dry up. The water is going down - it’s climate change.<br />
 <br />
A lot of people have left the area. Some go to work in other places as labourers or security guards or cleaners. And some risk the journey to the States. What else is there to do?"

  • Olga Alvarado, a coffee producer in Intibucá, migrated to the US and worked at Macdonalds in Devon, New Jersey for eight years, scrimping and saving to buy a small plot of farm land and grow coffee. She is a member of the COAQUIL cooperative that is Fairtrade-certified, and the Fairtrade prices are keeping their heads above water as the international coffee market prices are very low. Many of the farmers in her area are selling coffee at a loss of around $50 a sack, the Fairtrade price is giving Olga a profit of around $30 a sack.

  • Jesús García Hernández, in the village of Los Horcones, Langue, Valle, Honduras. "The community is affected by a prolonged drought. We’ve just lost another harvest, it’s gone on for nine years. Winters used to be good, we’d have rain. Now we have years where there’s no water in the streams, the rivers, the wells. We need water, without it we suffer. The crops need water, without it they don’t grow and we don’t get a crop, it’s simple. The trees keep the humidity, but man has chopped down the trees. Now the trees that are left are drying up”.
