COFOA New Member Parish San Nicolas Lemba Leads a Clean-Up Campaign

In San Nicolas Lemba parish, El Salvador – our newest member organization – leaders held a listening campaign in three towns, and identified garbage and water pollution as top concerns, because of problems with contaminated water.

One hundred-fifty residents, including youth, then began a clean-up campaign, bringing together a large coalition including schools, the local health care unit, the Mayor of Tecoluca, businesses and additional churches to clean up across their community.  They are now building on this work by leading research meetings with public officials and agencies to find permanent solutions to improve the environment.  They are promoting their larger campaign through the theme Recycle, Reuse and Reduce.
