PUEBLO SAN RAFAEL BECOMING A SELF-SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY
Helping Pueblo San Rafael
Situation:
San Rafael de los Moreno is a pueblo in a rural area outside Puerto Vallarta. The community does not have access to a hospital in a scorpion-affected place and lives in extreme poverty, with little access to finished roads, clean water, or a functioning sewer system. The goal for San Rafael is to create a self-reliant and self-sustainable community.
Solution:
FAMA Foundation donated injections for anecdotes to assist with scorpion and spider attacks and has initiated a discussion between government agencies and this pueblo to create more infrastructure.
Results:
The goal for San Rafael is to create a self-reliant and self-sustainable community. The community council has asked for help to finish a road, a sewer extension, and water treatment.
