About

Ana Maria Vasquez has been committed to helping women organize for their own empowerment and for environmental justice throughout Latin America for decades. From Panama to Mexico, she has supported dozens of women in their efforts to launch sustainable local businesses, including cooperatives and sustainable gardening and animal husbandry projects that involve and educate school children on environmental issues. Ana Maria and her team have also begun a business transforming recycled paper trash into greeting cards to help bring income into the local communities as well as women-led soap-making cooperatives in Mexico. She works to ensure that the voices of poor women are heard and that their needs are supported.
