On December 21, the Libretas Confia (Trust Books) campaign was closed. These financial books have supported families in the El Barrero area throughout the quarantine period.
The system consisted of a register, in which the trader noted the products delivered to a certain family with a limit of $40,000. This way, this family could buy the food they really needed at the time, excluding alcohol, cigarettes and gambling.
The project had the double objective of supporting, on the one hand, families in economic difficulty in quarantine and, on the other hand, to strengthen local commerce, allowing the money to remain in the neighborhood at the time when Fondacio deposited the amount. with this grocer thanks to donations received from third parties.
The initiative started with a group of 15 families and ended up bringing together 60 in total.
It was these families who, to close the year and the campaign of confias, received in a ceremony boxes made by the same adjoining stores, in which gifts were added for all those who had children under 13 years.
The event included games, testimonials and songs. In addition, it has been divided into two groups, in order to respect the sanitary measures corresponding to capacity and social distance.
