SOCIAL VALUE AWARD - CEPSA 2020
The CEPSA - Compañía Española de Petróleos S.A. Foundation awarded us the 2020 Social Value award, an initiative that supports 20 families with the project "Food and Nutrition Security for Expectant Mothers Living with HIV and their Children Infected with HIV or Affected by their Mother’s Virus."
Through this project, families are being trained in various areas related to proper nutrition:
- What is an urban organic farm, how to sow, produce organic compost, implement it in each of the participating families' homes and promote in them the use of recycling as a fundamental factor to generate care for the environment, as well as love for nature and the environment.
- The participants also receive training on how to establish a healthy nutrition plan at low cost.
- Finally, food yielded monthly to the 20 families during the entirety of 2021. With the production obtained from each planting and the markets delivered, they are train in how to properly refrigerate and store food and know the ideal cooking points.
