We have created a greenhouse for the cultivation of cacti, used for ornamental and reforestation purposes.

The activities for the protection of the flora in the area surrounding the plant have resulted in the actual rescue of 16 species of the region.

Farmers who live around Dominica can now rely on the maguey mill named after the agave that is typical of semi-desert areas. We have built it so they can process this plant, obtain forage, and produce the aguamiel used for beverages or for the fibre with which they make ropes, fabric and mats.

We also support the training of farmers on sustainable cultivation and extraction of the maguey worms and ant larvae marketed as traditional food of the region.

At the Telesecundaria Manuel Josè Othon school, where students can benefit from remote lessons through video connections, we have installed a solar panel and electrical infrastructure system granting stable access to electricity, thus offering a new future for their education.
