Social responsibility
To offer training, knowledge and to promote entrepreneurship
among the women in the communities adjacent to the La Val-
deza Quarry.
FCC, in collaboration with the Instituto Nacional de Formación
Profesional and Capacitación para el Desarrollo Humano (Na-
tional Institute of Professional Training for Human Development
- INADEH) has organized a sewing course for about 12 women
who live in the community.
FCC ill providing the necessary materials and tools, and the
facilities for the 3-month courses taught by Raquel Ortiz, a
member of INADEH.
At the end of the course, a sewing machine will be given to
the women who were was the most punctual and obtained the
best grades so that they can start a dress-making business at
home and earn income for their respective families.
With the aim of brining health to the communities in the vicinity
of its projects, FCC organized the first health seminar in the El
Coco Quarry in La Chorrera.
Members of the communities adjacent to the quarry, such as
El Coco, Guadalupe, and La Herradura, participated in this ac-
tivity that was supported by the team of doctors, nurses, and
technicians at the San Francisco Healthcare Centre.
During this activity, the medical team provided general medical
services, performed Pap, Glycaemia and blood pressure tests,
and gave vaccinations and medicines free of charge all with
the support of a social worker.
The residents in this area welcomed the initiative since those
who benefited the most were the elderly, the disabled, and
those who for various reasons lack access to healthcare servi-
ces, so necessary for everyone.
