San Cristobal used to be the most important city within the three Andean states at the western Venezuelan boundary. It has been dramatically affected by the people of Venezuela civil confrontations facing the dictatorship installed since April 2017 without population support.
It was this area were we have decided to invest US$ 75 funds received within this term to support women from a local San Cristobal community with twelve hours of financial preparation and guidance for them to develop abilities to accomplish accountable small businesses from their home made groceries and goods into productive initiatives based on cooperative economy.
A community of 20 women were benefitied from this training which content was provided by our organization and taugh by two professors prepared by us back in February. This new way of implementing our training allows us to reach far localities with support of local facilitators to expand our action. People trained are dedicated to marmalade production sewing custom made clothing and Hair and nail Styling. It serves a 2000 people community and provides daily sustain to approximately 80 households.
