Agreement signed with Voluntary Dividend for the Community to benefit La Morán in Caracas
- Non-reimbursable funds were granted to develop a sustainable model which can be replicated in other communities in Latin America
- About 1,500 families live in this community in the west of Caracas
"The Agenda for Integrated Development proposed by CAF - García said after the signing - aims to achieve high sustained, sustainable and quality growth which stimulates, among other aspects, initiatives which promote greater equity and social inclusion and reduction of poverty with communities as leaders of their own development".
The CAF president added, "more than 7,000 people live in La Morán; this project promoted by private enterprise will give them significant support for solving the serious problem of trash handling and recycling of solid waste in their community". The project in this community aims to develop a sustainable model that can be replicated in other communities in Latin America.
DVC President Nelson Rincón said, "the agreement strengthens the Building Community Project, because the support of important international organizations, such as CAF, reaffirms the fact that this model is a tool which is applicable to the process of empowering developing communities, by improving the quality of life of their inhabitants with great potential for transformation by improving the urban environment, in relation to social behavior, dignity, respect and security among citizens"
The funds approved by CAF will be invested in three environment and infrastructure projects:
- Trash collection, sorting, recycling and adaptation of the community environment
- Clean up of a creek and restoration of its environment
- Environmental cleanup of public spaces with community participation, focused on inclusion and training of youth, to lay the foundation for commitment to the planned projects and the desired sustainable development.
Voluntary Dividend for the Community (DVC) is a private non-profit organization founded in 1964 with the mission of channeling the collective effort of private initiative into actions to improve the quality of life of poor communities through specific projects and in partnership with communities, social development organizations, authorities and businesses.
