A project for change and integral development
The Bonaterra Community project was born from researching and analyzing the different social problems and needs in different areas of Aguascalientes, with the initiative of Lorenza María Larios Córdova to create a replicable social model that promotes the integral development of people and turns them into agents of change.
The main social problems and needs that are addressed through our programs and projects are: school dropout and backwardness, vandalism, drug addiction, domestic violence, lack of educational and employment opportunities, among others.
The population that is directly served is located in the eastern part of the city; among the different neighborhoods are: Miradores de las Culturas, La Hojarasca, Laurales, Cumbres I, II and III, Pericos, Villas de las Fuentes, Solidaridad I and II, and Bajío de Las Palmas.
