Constitución and Álvaro Obregón, Santa Rosalia, Baja California Sur, 23920, Mexico. EcoWB partners with FHMSR, a small Mexican non-profit organization based in Santa Rosalía, BCS, Mexico, on the Mulegé Sustainable Fisheries Project (MSFP). EcoWB receives grant funding for the MSFP and donates a considerable amount of time and effort to the project. FHMSR promotes sustainable development in the Municipality of Mulegé through a variety of social, environmental, and economic development programs designed to improve the welfare of local residents. In 2024, EcoWB granted FHMSR a total of $48,290 so its staff could assist with fieldwork, facilitate the involvement of local fishermen and other stakeholders, and ensure compliance with the social responsibility aspects of the project. EcoWB and FHMSR work side by side on the MSFP, dividing responsibilities and tasks according to their respective capabilities to ensure project success. EcoWB maintains full control over the project, as detailed in monthly progress reports (required for monthly grant disbursements), and grant project completion reports. ***Grant monies paid to affiliated organization Empower the Community (ETCO) = $4,250. Address: Soweto East Village, Nyayo Highrise Ward, Lang'ata Constituency, Nairobi, Kenya. EcoWB has joined the local community-based non-profit, ETCO in their efforts to clean-up and restore the Nairobi Reservoir adjacent to the informal settlement of Kibera, outside of Nairobi, Kenya. EcoWB is working to address the waste and environmental damage that has come to characterize the once beautiful Nairobi Reservoir and its tributaries. Over the next few years, EcoWB and ETCO will work with the residents of Kibera and other partners to clean up waterways and reclaim the reservoir area for recreation and other beneficial uses by local residents. In 2024, EcoWB granted ETCO a total of $4,250 to hold community clean-up events for the Ngong River and its tributaries.”
