Objectives:
To develop the initiative "Sustento", an income-generating opportunity that will make the "Alimenta la Solidaridad" food halls self-sustainable in the near future.
This will be achieved by training the food hall parents in catering lunches for workers and executives in private companies.
The specific objectives are:
- Train parents in food hygiene and handling, basic notions of gastronomy and food preparation.
- Train the community in food production (vegetable gardens and artisanal charcuterie).
- Generate a sales, service and distribution structure for the products generated by the community.
Beneficiaries:
With the income generated by these initiatives, the community will be able to provide for the food halls and in the not-so-distant future, make these food halls self sustainable.
Every person working in this initiative will receive a salary.
