Asociación Cincahuite is a success story in itself. The association emerged from fishermen, farmers, housewives, shell collectors, and youth living in extreme poverty, often facing frequent flooding from the Lempa River. They collaborated with Asociación Mangle to address these immense challenges. Though not easy, over time they achieved results and established themselves as an independent organization. Families no longer go to bed hungry at night, and the national government implemented measures to control flooding.

Cincahuite took on the challenge of improving the nutritional status of 50 children under the age of 5. They have monitored malnourished children and provided nutritional supplements to children and pregnant mothers as needed. Mothers have learned about preparing healthy food and stimulating their children’s development. The results are impressive as children overcome malnutrition and acquire new skills, ensuring a brighter future.
