This project is a product of strengthening intercommunity relations and social cohesion through participatory and collaborative processes promoted by the Community Development Council (COCODE), residents, and Progreso.
The project benefits more than 850 families in the community, primarily children and older adults who now have dignified access to their homes and the main community facilities.
Through Planta San Gabriel, Cementos Progreso provided the cement and aggregates, while residents contributed their time, labor, and close collaboration to complete the project in three months (September to November 2023).
Engaging with communities involves establishing relationships to foster sustainable dialogue and discourse, ensuring that all parties feel respected, empowered, and informed.
Cementos Progreso works on managing safe spaces and actively listening to generate a dialogue where all parties feel represented, attended to, and with effective collaboration processes.
