Project Summary

 
 
 

One of our highlighted project achievements to date, is the recent purchase of 100, four-month-old laying hens for the community of Cerro Flores, Sebles y Cerro Congo which would not have been possible without your generosity. It is important to note that the communities being supported by this project are in extremely remote locations, only accessible to the ACUN team after hours of walking on foot. With this in mind, we are proud of the progress our partner has been able to achieve, as community development has been steady and positive results have ensued.   The responsibility and care of the hens falls on the women in these communities, and ACUN has supported these women with training, technical support and materials. 

This project is being implemented by Horizons in partnership with our Panamanian partner, Ngäbe Cultural Action (ACUN) and provides three isolated communities and 30 marginalized, Indigenous families in Panama with the tools and education needed to:
