Ana's Garden

Ana Mercedes is a joyful woman and who helps feed her community in La Luisa with her beautiful garden where she grows produce like eggplant, spinach, aloe Vera, cilantro, oregano, and more.

“I feed lots of people with my garden. I give to my neighbor and I’ve even been able to sell things. I love the work. This water project would change my life. Having water to grow my garden would change everything. I would have time.“

Ana;s community, La Luisa, received a water project in June 2023 and her days of carrying water to feed her garden are over. She is a beautiful example of how people in these rural places thrive through serving each other.

“My favorite thing about this town is the community. If I’m sick, people come and bring me food. I share and they give. I have never gone without.”

Not only does clean water help grow healthy foods, but it also waters the seeds of opportunity and progress.
