“Familias Productivas e Incluyentes” is a real opportunity for vulnerable families to transform their lives through entrepreneurship. That’s why we start with reconnaissance visits to productive units to ensure the relevance of our support, fulfilling the needs and requirements of business and entrepreneurship ideas.

With the enthusiastic participation of children and youth, our workshop facilitators developed a series of activities designed to promote skills such as leadership, communication, and self-concept, stimulating the creative spirit of both young and old. From sports dynamics and memory games to artistic activities, every moment was filled with fun and learning. In addition to the activities, the children also received healthy and refreshing snacks at the end of the session.

Our youth group of Community Leaders met with the Community Action Board of the Lipaya neighborhood to co-create and identify the opportunities, strengths, threats, and weaknesses of the area, in order to organize the community diagnosis objectively and participatively.

In an effort to empower mothers and fathers and promote economic inclusion, the Mi Ciudad con Vida Foundation resumes the project called Productive and Inclusive Families. The launch of this initiative was very well received by the community, and its goal is to stimulate entrepreneurial spirit through training, counseling, connecting entrepreneurs with sources of financing, and thus helping them build and/or strengthen their own businesses.

With recreational, artistic, and sports activities, we have begun the skills assessment process among our beneficiaries. This will enable us to provide community services that are relevant to the needs and expectations of children, youth, and adolescents in this year 2024.

Today, the talk on nonviolent communication, fostering a climate of trust, respect, and cooperation between children and adults, was held with the support of Labimag. Key techniques were shared to promote constructive and respectful dialogue in various situations, such as the importance of active listening and expressing needs clearly and empathetically. Attendees left with a new approach to addressing difficult conversations and nurturing more harmonious relationships.

This Saturday, the Community Leaders group participated in the Girls’ Voices Fair, showcasing female leadership in our projects to various social organizations working for youth. It was an event organized by the Young Women’s Network of the Atlantic in commemoration of International Women’s Day.

At an emotional event filled with smiles and hugs, we welcomed 150 children and young people from the community. With fun ludic-pedagogical activities and a delicious breakfast, the foundation’s team greeted the children and youth with enthusiasm and warmth. The children were invited to participate in various activities where they could integrate, meet the entire team, and also learn about the projects they will be part of in 2024.
