  • Jesus on the Rubbish Dump<br />
<br />
Yolanda Jesús Lozano, Municipal Dump, Rio Abajo, Tegucigalpa<br />
<br />
"I’m a single mother bringing up my three children. I do it with the money I make here on the dump. Mainly with tins and sometimes bottles and other things if there are a lot. I can earn 80 Lempiras a day. It’s dangerous here as they dump waste from the hospital - you can get a used syringe in your foot.<br />
<br />
Two weeks ago they found a head here, half eaten by the vultures. They say they found the body over in Comayaguela."

<br />
'I've been in ASOGUABO since 1998. The Association, since I joined, has always given support to women and men, equally. Women are in ASOGUABO, and we are treated the same as men. <br />
<br />
With Fairtrade, our bananas get us some extra support, for our workers, and we get stability, guarantees that we're going to sell our bananas at a fair and stable price, a price that it higher than the pay you get outside of Fairtrade. <br />
<br />
If you need support to improve your packing station, you get it, if you need a road to your packing station, you get it, if you need to imrprove your drainage, you get it.<br />
<br />
We also get support for our workers and children when it's term time, for studying. We've put in a water treatment plant in Las Casitas, for the people living there to have drinking water.<br />
<br />
And we are running projects like the plastic recycling, we are all recycling. Here we are all using the three Rs, reuse, recycle, and, the other R, haha.<br />
<br />
We are grateful to everyone for taking us into consideration. We don't want gifts, we want to work, with dignity, so, please buy our bananas!.'

'We extract and mix elements here, including garlic, onion, ginger, charcoal, minerals, sometimes small amounts of soil from virgin forest, and plenty of other sources, and with them we produce large volumes of liquid fertilizers charged with nutrients, beneficial micro-organisms, mycorrhizae, and we give these to the producers. And we produce organic insect repellants too. Nearly all of our producers are already 100% organic, and these products are natural, they boost fertility and they subdue and control plant diseases. We've built this lab with Fairtrade premium.'
