strategic line

The beneficiaries of this strategic line become agents that generate change in the society of Tequila, all the inhabitants are invited to attend, but the main focus is on vulnerable people or at risk, such as children, seniors and women, through which all members of the family system benefit.

All the needs solved through the strategic social line, share an important alliance with different institutions, as well as with municipalities and the civil society.

One of the main platform to provide a rapid response to the needs of the most vulnerable community of Tequila, are the work alliances we make with different institutions. Through these collaborations we can not only prevent and detect risk situations, but we also unify efforts to achieve our common goal, which is the wellbeing of the population.

This initiative has the purpose of helping children and young people to become agents of change in their families, and to replicate it in the society of Tequila. The Beckmann Foundation offered workshops to support parents who participate in this project.

One of the main focuses of the Beckmann Foundation is to meet the needs of the most fragile population, such as children, the elderly and women, who bring these positive changes to their families; as well as people who live in the most remote localities of the municipality and who do not have nearby services or institutions.

Medical attention, food and assistance to the elderly are provided, coordinating the visit of social service students to perform accompaniment activities. There is as well a sensitizing work to the interior of the society, with those families and schools that get involved to visit and share with them. Monthly financial aid is also provided for personal supplies, as the main purpose is to raise the quality of life of elders who do not have a support network, promoting a sense of family.

Women are the main engine of a community, in this event, we celebrate them along with the 20th anniversary of the Foundation, since we have worked with them hand in hand. The general objective of the project is to create a space from a psychosocial approach, which incorporates artistic and cultural expression in the awareness processes, the creation of support networks and the sorority. With this, a consciousness of gender equity and development contribution of their community were favored.

In this event, different activities focused on women were held, such as yoga classes, self-defense, entrepreneurship motivation and flower exchange. The workshop Flowers that don´t fade was one of the most impact, where the emerging artist MC Lancaster involved more than 20 women in a dynamic, in which they shared their testimonies of life. The artist motivated them by drawing each one her favorite flower and reminding them through her mural, that whatever happens the flowers do not wither.
