Aldeas de Paz has established a collaboration scheme with a local grassroot NGO. This NGO arose in 2003 with the objective of improving the living conditions of marginalized sectors in the state of Hidalgo, through participatory cultural and productive processes of education and development. The aim is to promote a change in social awareness to act for the common good based on human rights, local resources and sustainability.

Aldeas de Paz is promoting a new community center that is located in one of the most important pilgrimage sites on the continent. Chalma’s needs and problems are huge, but also there are a lot of solutions that we are promoting. We want to promote social change but also to face one of the big challenges in town: look after abandoned dogs. Dogs attach to pilgrims while they walk to town and they don’t take them back with them.

This extraordinary successful NGO was created in 2007 with the aim of promoting community participation as well as preserving and protecting the natural, social, historical and spiritual heritage of Malinalco, State of Mexico.
