Sustainable Village Honduras (SVH) is a registered 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization which started out as the Trinidad Conservation Project (TCP) in 2007. It adopted its current name when registering as a non-profit in the District of Columbia in June 2017. At its most ambitious, the goal of the Trinidad Conservation Project was to help improve life in rural communities so that farming families can remain in the communities and will not have to migrate to cities within Honduras or the United States to make a living. Over time TCP evolved to a network of individuals and churches and not a legal entity, TCP always partnered with a legally recognized not-for-profit organization in the U.S. and in Honduras. In 2006, TCP partnered with the Episcopal Dioceses of Washington and Honduras to help communities plant trees to protect water and soil resources. In 2008, TCP partnered with Sustainable Harvest International (SHI) to teach sustainable agriculture and forestry in order to address the twin issues of protecting tropical forests and alleviating poverty. In early 2015, 33 families in Santa Barbara supported by TCP completed the SHI field program, and SHI moved on to other parts of Honduras. In 2015, TCP joined with Groundswell International, and its partner in Honduras, Vecinos Honduras. TCP liked Groundswell’s mission, encompassing community empowerment, farmer-to- farmer training and participation by women and youth.
