Residents of the Rancho 40 community in Primo Tapia, part of the Development Group of the Community Health and Wellness Program, participated in the first artisan market, supported by the state’s system for Integral Family Development (DIF).

Leslie Zulema Álvarez stated that the program includes 18 community members, mostly women, who seek to bring in extra income for their families, as work places are far from their community.

The artisan market is a space where members can offer items that the community itself produces, including crafts, jewelry, cheeses, jams, and other products.

Mrs. Álvarez mentioned that the market is set up in a part of the community where there is a shorter route, compared to the traditional path to reach El Coronel Hill.

They are seeking alliances with the Ejido Primo Tapia to promote and assist this community.
