Women and girls in El Salvador are fighting for change and learning how to better protect their environment from flooding through education. Together, we will Beat the Clock.
Women and girls in El Salvador are fighting for change and learning how to better protect their environment from flooding through education. Zuleyma, 18, lives in the coastal area of La Libertad in El Salvador and her community is especially susceptible to flooding, as it sits next to an estuary.
Together with several of her classmates, Zuleyma is leading a recycling initiative. Working with other community members, her tireless team has collected over three tons of plastic and cans from the river and sold them to recycling companies. In addition to helping prevent flooding, they also prevent rubbish from ending up in the sea.
