Access to water in Calakmul
The FC Barcelona Foundation and Scotiabank are working together with the organisation Fondo para la Paz on a community development project in the municipality of Calakmul (Mexico). Participating in the project are more than 650 children and young people from ten communities. ‘Community development in Calakmul’ is a project which encourages the provision of spaces for participants and their families to meet and communicate with community leaders, authorities and committees. In addition, the project features physical activity sessions built around acquiring skills for life. And what is more, it also includes workshops on socio-environmental issues and the putting into practice of community projects aiming to improve access to water and sanitation in schools.
