Strengthening Resilience in Guerrero

By Cooperacion Comunitaria | Project Leader

In response to the climate crisis, which disproportionately affects the most vulnerable populations, we are implementing a comprehensive recovery process in the municipalities of Malinaltepec and Cacahuatepec through four key action lines:

  1. Reconstruction of reinforced traditional housing,
  2. Access to water and ecological sanitation,
  3. Sustainable recovery of livelihood crops,
  4. Social organization and cooperative initiatives.

With these efforts, we aim to strengthen community resilience and self-management at all levels.

Malinaltepec

The community of Monte Alegre has launched the second phase of self-production of 23 reinforced housing. In Llano de Heno and Monte Alegre, in collaboration with the Intercultural University of Guerrero, we are promoting actions for forest care through reforestation processes and raising awareness about water conservation and safe sanitation systems. Participants have shown interest in eco-technologies to mitigate environmental damage. As one participant noted: “Dry toilets would help reduce the risk of harming the environment.”

Cacahuatepec

The communities of El Cantón and Cruces de Cacahuatepec are advancing in their comprehensive reconstruction processes. Each community successfully self-produced four educational houses, and families strengthened their right to adequate housing. Additionally, Integrated Risk Management and community resilience were bolstered through the participatory design of biofilters. Families learned about the construction, installation, use, and maintenance of biofilters to improve sanitation systems in their homes. They also collaboratively designed prototypes of kitchens and energy-efficient stoves to reduce the use of wood-based resources.

En respuesta a la crisis climática, que afecta en mayor medida a las poblaciones más vulnerables, estamos llevando a cabo un proceso de recuperación integral en los municipios de Malinaltepec y Cacahuatepec, a través de 4 líneas de acción: 

  1. reconstrucción de la vivienda tradicional reforzada, 
  2. acceso al agua y saneamiento ecológico, 
  3. recuperación de los cultivos medios de vida de manera sustentable,
  4. organización social-cooperativismo. 

Con ello, apostamos al fortalecimiento de la resiliencia y la autogestión de las comunidades en todos los niveles.

Malinaltepec 

La comunidad de Monte Alegre arrancó con la segunda etapa de autoproducción de 23 viviendas reforzadas. En Llano de Heno y Monte Alegre,  con la participación de la Universidad Intercultural de Guerrero, impulsamos acciones por el cuidado del bosque a través de procesos de reforestación y acciones de sensibilización sobre el cuidado del agua y sistemas de saneamiento seguro. Las personas mostraron su interés en las ecotecnias para disminuir los daños. Así como expresó una participante: “El baño seco nos ayudaría a disminuir el riesgo de afectar el medio ambiente”

Cacahuatepec

Las comunidades de El Cantón y Cruces de Cacahuatepec avanzan en los procesos de reconstrucción integral. Cada comunidad logró autoproducir 4 viviendas-escuela  y las familias fortalecieron su derecho a una vivienda adecuada. Además, se fortaleció la Gestión Integral del Riesgo y la resiliencia de las comunidades por medio del diseño participativo de biofiltros.  Las familias aprendieron sobre la construcción, instalación, uso y mantenimiento de biofiltros, para mejorar los sistemas de saneamiento en sus hogares. También diseñaron participativamente un prototipo de cocina y de estufas ahorradoras para disminuir el uso de bienes maderables.
