On January 19, 2021, CAEMBA worked intensively in the Las Cañitas sector, in the Nueva Esperanza neighborhood, in Atacames. Two houses were built thanks to the financing from the Caseres Town Council in Catalonia, Spain. The management was carried out by the organization Paz y Desarrollo, our permanent ally contributing to the comprehensive work we carry out in Esmeraldas, key in the transformative and multiplying change of well-being that we generate in this and other communities.
The beneficiaries of the houses were the families of Susana Lara and Karina García. Paz y Desarrollo works in this neighborhood in building capacities around leadership, self-esteem, and prevention of gender-based violence. This is a great complement to achieve transformations in marginalized neighborhoods that are in situations of extreme poverty.
The objective is to achieve a comprehensive transformation in the neighborhoods where we work, so that residents have their CAEMBA house and also alternatives for training to build capacity and entrepreneurship, in order to have sustainable livelihoods.
This partnership between Paz y Desarrollo, CAEMBA, and the Caseres Town Council is a good example of how we share knowledge through complementarity and the successful generation of transformative changes.
