In 2022, the setec Foundation organized its 3rd annual campaign on the theme of sustainable construction in Haiti, Colombia, Brazil and Peru. This campaign follows on from the call for projects organized with FAMAE in 2021 on sustainable construction in Africa.
In 2022, the setec Foundation has chosen to modify its project sourcing methodology by mobilizing setec Group employees who work in the countries covered by the annual campaign. It is these employees who have identified structures and projects that could be included in the setec Foundation’s annual campaign.
The setec Foundation would like to warmly thank the following for their involvement throughout the process:
– Colombia: Claudia Patricia Rodriguez Hernandez and Martha Adriana Obando Ortega
– Brazil: Elzio Mistrelo
– Haiti: Réginald Baussan
– Peru: Alberto d’Amato
Around ten projects were presented by these setec employees, who were involved in sourcing the projects on a voluntary basis. The Executive Committee of the setec Foundation decided to financially support four projects, one per country:
- Colombia: restoration of a community aqueduct for the El Comun association. Website
- Brazil: installation of sustainable energy infrastructure to empower an Amazonian community.
- Haiti: restoration of sanitary facilities and a waste management area to improve working conditions for women in Port-au-Prince markets. Website
In total, the setec Foundation has allocated 164,000 euros to these projects. The employees involved in their identification continue to support the setec Foundation in monitoring the implementation of the projects.
