Community Initiatives in Times of COVID


Thanks to the donations and support we receive, we have made progress with the training of women, who during this health crisis sought a way to obtain additional income for their family, starting enterprises with the support of our organization.

- We trained two groups of women, from different communities, in the formation of savings banks to improve the economy of families
- A group of women who are dedicated to weaving have been trained in new forms and styles of embroidery for their products.
- A group of young women has started with an initiative of articles for the hair with handmade embroidery, which allows them to generate extra income.
- More women have joined and are actively participating in ventures that have already been established for longer, which helps them obtain additional income for their family, avoiding migration to other states in the country.

We appreciate that you are part of this work.
Thank you!
