"Rural social issues are, in my opinion, some of the most forgotten and ignored
by the government, by the entire system. Yet these are of utmost importance to a country since the rural aspect, the simplest, perhaps most ignorant and least prepared,
is what sustains a nation and an economy."
–Doña Eida, Local Business Owner and Producer
known fondly by many locals as "The Peninsula's Grandmother of Culture"

At Los Higuerones, there are many ways we can accompany each other on the road toward a more resilient economy, in service to everyone.
In the pursuit of our mission, we work with a multi-capital approach and consciously draw on more than financial capital.
Gift Experiential Capital
By offering a workshop, skill-sharing mentorship, or by joining one of our regularly scheduled Manos Cambiadas activities.
Gift Natural Capital
-By donating or exchanging seeds and plants for our market.
-Share excess harvests, any dry goods/food stuffs, or clean glass jars and bottles.
-Organic compost is very welcome and will be passed on to local farmers who are in need of fertile soil.
Gift Material Capital
-Building materials, office equipment, furniture, appliances, etc.
As a community-based group who is in touch with many families in need, we welcome all donations (in good shape and operational).
If we cannot use donations on-site, we will pass them on to appropriate recipients. Check out our in-kind needs list to see how you can help.
