Playing is one of the most important activities for children. In addition to having fun, they learn about solidarity and empathy. At «El Sinaca» school, they can play safely now, thanks to support from the community, authorities, and Cementos Progreso.
One of Progreso’s most important efforts lies in strengthening the capacities of all the people who live in areas Progreso affects. In San Juan Sacatepéquez, after initiating the “Floriculutra para el Desarrollo” (Floriculture for Development) program, and after multiple organizational processes, the Integral Agricultural Cooperative Association of Flower Growers was born. Initiating the association is an effort demonstrating that working together produces better results.
Progreso promotes a chain of production and business through its Agro and Finca El Pilar unit, which boosts flower growers’ self-sustainability. These flower growers export their product to the United States.
Carlos F. Novella Foundation spreads the word about these courses which are taught by Intecap at the Finca El Pilar. These activities are ongoing and help strengthen ties as well as train capacities in neighboring communities.
