My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a researcher who recently received a Fulbright US Student Grant to do work in Guatemala. During my application process I was looking for an affiliate organization that could help further my research and which embodies the spirit of what I hope my Fulbright can accomplish. My research focuses on how coastal communities throughout Latin America, Guatemala in the case of my grant area, are responding on a social level to the threats of climate change and ecological loss. EcoLogic quickly rose to the top of my list of possible collaborators. They have done exceptional work along the Caribbean coast of Guatemala, working across all levels of communities to realize projects that protect the natural environment and establish an environment for increasing opportunity and quality of life across the region. They have been a necessary part of my research strategy, connecting me with important individuals and groups on the ground and sharing valuable first-hand knowledge of the region and people that I intend to write about. The authenticity and care that they bring to their work should serve as a model for any group trying to find and implement social/economic development solutions that center the wellbeing of the earth and its people.
