A New Beginning for 71 families in Colombia

Dear donor,

The Interactuar team and the families from Los Medios thank you from the heart for your support. The gifts we received have found their destination and are now helping the micro entrepreneurs involved in the project to move forward.

The 71 families that are currently living in Los Medios have organized the community in various committees in order to take care of the good activity of the school, church, nutrition, law, economic and social issues in the village. The production of panela works better and better and thanks to your generous donations, the manufacturers have professional equipment to work in a safe environment and produce a qualitative 100% natural product. The Los Medios community is currently commercializing panela to the Granada market, the closest municipality, increasing the confidence level in the local economic activity. As the production of panela is the main financial resource that brings income to the families in the village, the purpose is to continuously increase the quality of production and extend the distribution market in other municipalities also to contribute to the community development. The focus now is to analyze the current economic situation of the community and to identify new markets and business opportunities to create various income generation sources for these families. The Los Medios community has come a long way thanks to your support. And it can go further with your help.

Note: ’A new beginning for 61 families in Colombia’ is part of the Together for Colombia campaign that we developed in order to raise awareness on the social and economic reality of this country and involve the international community in changing it to the better.
