| To respond to
the important problems linked to domestic and industrial
pollution in Havana’s Metropolitan Park and
in the Almendares River, FDH and CIERIC decided to
install a bamboo garden to contribute to both the
reforestation of the riverbanks and the creation of
wood-working jobs that produce construction material,
crafts, and furniture.

| In order to improve
the sanitation of housing, FDH and CIERIC work with
other local partners in the rehabilitation and construction
of housing, in the El Husillo neighborhood. The construction
material is given to the families, but the homes will
be rebuilt by the residents themselves, in the spirit
of self-help. These families will then obtain a deed
of ownership for their homes. © FDH, CIERIC |

| In conjunction
with concrete actions like planting a bamboo garden
and building homes, various actions are sponsored
to raise awareness and to build self-confidence among
residents of all ages. Dance, music, song-writing,
poetry, painting, and neighborhood festivals are additional
tools in this work of awareness-raising and confidence-building.
