The Arizona project is a partnership with the farmworker advocacy group Campesinos Sin Fronteras and two medical centers in Yuma County: the Yuma Regional Medical Center and the Regional Center for Border Health. The Lake Atitlán project is a partnership with several Guatemalan organizations and includes analysis of contaminants in subsistence foods and the breastmilk of the Mayan communities in the watershed.
