Transforming for Peace
Transformando para la Paz seeks to provide individual and group emotional support services, psychoeducational therapies, empowerment workshops and art therapy to victims of gender-based violence. This, in order to develop assertive skills and techniques for emotional management and trauma healing. We impact taking into consideration the diversity that characterizes us as people, so we use as tools different learning methods (multiple intelligences) and differentiated education. In addition, our methodology is based on the gender perspective and the principles of restorative justice that allows the healing of wounds caused by gender violence and sexual aggression. This project is made possible by the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW).

Health Services
We guarantee participants access to quality health services at the appropriate place and time in an environment that is safe. Our main objective is to address the barriers that the health system presents to the most vulnerable populations of Comerío. We coordinate appointments with the different medical plans to verify eligibility, appointments with specialists and generalists taking into consideration the needs of each participant. Also we have a medical support team. We break down the barriers that each participant faces when receiving health services. Among other health access services, we support participants in sending documents, communicating with the provider,arranging transportation, among other health access services.
Project
Seeds of Hope
Seeds of Hope is a project that seeks to support survivors of domestic violence and secondary victims. We have the support of a Legal Advocate who accompanies the survivors of domestic violence to the Comerío court.
Additionally, through psychological therapy, mentoring, art therapy and creative writing workshops, we integrate the children (secondary victims) of the survivors in healing processes and provide them emotional support.
The Route is a cultural project that invites us to learn about the life of Juana Colón, the history of Comerío and its gastronomy. Relive through a guided tour, the route that Juana took as a fighter for the rights of tobacco workers in the early 20th century, demonstrating her courage and commitment to social justice. You will also learn about her work as a village healer, where she provided her services free of charge, showing her support to the community. Join us!
