  • Inside the West Bank, there are dozens of wells, water treatment plants and pumping stations that pump water straight into Israel and the illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, but leaving inadequate allocations for the Palestinians.<br />
<br />
In the West Bank daily consumption of water per capita for domestic, urban, and industrial use is just 73 litres, but as low as 20 litres in some places. In Israeli towns daily consumption is 242 litres per capita. <br />
<br />
The World Health Organization and other international bodies recommend 100 litres of water per capita per day as the minimum quantity for basic consumption. <br />
<br />
This amount includes, in addition to domestic use, consumption in hospitals, schools, businesses, and other public institutions. Palestinian daily consumption is one-third less than the recommended quantity. <br />
<br />
This inequality reflects a broader policy of discrimination against the Palestinians.

  • Santos Filadelfo Padilla, 17<br />
<br />
El programa es de apoyar a retornados. Yo llegué hasta la ciudad de México. De allí me deportaron. Yo iba en el autobús, y subieron, no eran policías sino de la migración. Otra gente les contaron a ellos quizás, y subieron. Me bajaron del bus, me llevaron a la garita, y allí me detuvieron. Dormí tres días allí. Y de allí me mandaron a la frontera con Mexico y Guatemala. Me tuvieron allí otros dos días. De allí me regresaron hasta aquí, a San Pedro Sula. Me llevaron al centro de retornados, para menores, hay un montón de camas allí en el Albergue Belén, allí estuve. <br />
<br />
Eso fue hace un año en diciembre. Salí el día 13 de diciembre, ya el 14 iba por Guatemala. Se me quedan los detalles pegados. <br />
<br />
Decidí irme por la pobreza. Uno sufre económicamente. No hay trabajos, no hay empleo. Y tengo bastantes amigos que si llegaron allí, en los estado unidos. Yo iba hacía Carolina del Norte, de mis amistades que están allí, allí están casi todos. Y hay otros en Texas.<br />
<br />
Hay muchas historias de horror. Hay gente que les puede secuestrar o algo. Y hay gente que sufre en el camino porque no tiene que comer. No hay nadie tal vez que les aconseje antes de ir, y van a sufrir en el camino. <br />
<br />
Aquí en Juticalpa tengo familia, soy de afuera, pero tengo familia aquí, y aquí me hablaron de la Federación, que estaban apoyando a migrantes retornados. <br />
<br />
La ayuda consiste en capacitación para mecánica y soldadura. Y con herramientas. Voy a trabajar en mecánica pesada, camiones. Hacen las capacitaciones aquí cerca. <br />
<br />
La vida de mi familia es bastante triste. Perdimos mi papá cuando tenía un año. Nos quitaron terrenos, la casa, quedamos sin nada. Cuando yo tenía siete salí de la escuela y empezé a trabajar, para ayudar a sostener mis hermanos. No teníamos nada.<br />
<br />
Nos han enseñado como hacer el trabajo, cobrar, hacer inventarios. Pienso, con las herramientas que me van a dar, poner mi propio taller aquí en Juticalpa.<br />

  • Hector Hermilo Perdomo, COCASJOL, Colinas, Santa Bárbara, Honduras. “With the two hurricanes that hit Honduras, the water that fell with them has affected us very much. We’ve had landslides, lots of land has been wiped out, taking with it our crops. Just in my bit of land I’ve lost two manzanas (5 acres) that means 7000 coffee plants that I’ve lost, that I can’t recover. Also the production of those 7000 plants, that’s about 35 quintals of dry pergamino coffee that I’ve lost. All this means I’m in difficulties financially, it’s a big loss. Also I’ve lost the musacea, the bananas we plant alongside the coffee as shade, and we have a substantial trade of bananas to Guatemala, mainly the small banana we call ‘mínimo’, we’ve lost that too. We’ve got big difficulties with access to and from our farms here, after the main roads and minor roads were affected by landslides, and that has made it hard to get any product out to market, or get machinery in to fix things on our farms. I’ve had 14 small landslides, and two big ones on my own property.”

  • Faustino de Jesús Cortés Cortés is from La Vainilla, La Conquista, Carazo, Nicaragua. “I’ve been working with CIEETS, and they’ve helped us with fruit trees, mangos, papaya and other fruits, they’re just maturing and we’ll get some fruit from them soon. We have citrus fruits, we’ve built level curves, barriers, we have natural medicines like lemon grass, we have pitahayas, achiote – which is good for the bees, but it’s also good for cooking, we use it ourselves, and it’s better than what you find in the shops. We have ornamental plants too, flowering plants for the bees. All this is good for us, for the family. We haven’t had a lot of success with the Meliponas, yet, but we will, we’ll keep trying. We have planted a lot of achiote, the bees love it. We have papaya, plenty of yuca, and plenty of quequisque that’s good for the nutrition, it’s the basics, and we have coconut, and peaches, star fruit. As all this goes up, we are creating the best conditions for the family to live well, it’s all new, we planted it all with CIEETS. What we want is to carry on improving, and all this will strengthen us. CIEETS has helped us move forwards”.

  • Arlington López, Dos Quebradas, Olancho: I have peppers, yuca and avocado planted here, and I now I have a good irrigation system. I’m using techniques I’ve learned on this programme, conservation agriculture, I did the trainings, and put the knowledge into practice, and it’s paying off. The irrigation system I turn on every morning, I’m fertilizing soil with compost, and it’s holding the moisture and providing nutrients to the plants. I also learned how to run a chicken farm, producing chicken for meat. The margins are quite low, it’s a volume business, the more you do, the more you earn, but I feel confident with the training I’ve done, and the experience I’m getting, that I can turn this into quite a profitable and sustainable business here. I’ve been selling locally, and the chicken I produce isn’t injected with water, it tastes better because it is better and people know that.

I liked working from an early age. From when I was eight I worked in whatever I could. I used to pass beans to Guatemala, at midnight with a mule, and the next day I’d bring back sugar, because there was no sugar in Honduras, only in Guatemala. Now you can get everything. At that time there weren’t many roads, everything had to be brought on a mule, now everything is modernised and nothing is taken on mules.<br />
<br />
Now I send packages with a barcode. They have the GPS system. The system tells you where the package is. Everything is modernised.<br />
<br />
From the age of 15 I worked cutting yucca plants, in Guatemala. We’d cut chunks of the stem and then in the factory in Guatemala City they’d put on a hormone and colour, and that made is sprout colourful flowers. They’d cover the bits of stem in cement and export them. I worked for three years in that, and then I came back here to work in the post office.<br />
<br />
I worked in Honducor (the post office), Bancrecer (a bank), in the municipality, then in the Customs office at the El Florido border post. While I was there Ricardo Maduro won the Presidency and I had to leave, and I put my papers in to work at the post office again, I’ve now worked here for 22 years.<br />
<br />
My life has been about work, I am happy, and yes, I feel proud.<br />

A mi me gustaba trabajar desde muy niño. A partir de los ocho años trabajaba en lo que pude. Pasaba frijoles para Guatemala, a medianoche en mula, y el día siguiente a traía azucar, porque no había azucar en Honduras, sólo en Guatemala. Ahora hay de todo aquí. En ese entonces no habían muchas carreterras, había que traer todo en mula, ahora esta todo modernizado y nadie va con mula. <br />

  • 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?"
