In our Barranquilla location we have achieved a link with the Learning Service (SENA), aiming to dictate the Hygiene & Food Handling in-person course within the installations of our foundation. This course is aimed to reach the community of the Lipaya neighbourhood (Barrio Lipaya), it is actually a very relevant topic for the neighbourhood needs, due to the fact that many mothers have food businesses or work in the food industry. Being trained and certified will increase their chances of getting a job, improve their income and enrich their knowledge.
