Improvement in health and hygiene reception conditions at the Santa Cecilia music school in Oaxaca (South region)
La Banda de Música helps underprivileged populations by giving children access to cultural activity and in particular music education. The aim is to foster education, social progress, stronger connections and a decrease in violence. The Santa Cecilia music school was set up in the shanty town “La Agencia Vicente Guerrero”, located at the foot of the Oaxaca waste disposal site. It currently caters to nearly 150 pupils. The school experiences problems with accessing water. To address this lack of independence, it decided to invest in two water tanks, including a rainwater collection tank. This project enables the school to provide proper sanitary and hygiene conditions for pupils and the teaching team. The partnership with the Air France Foundation began in 2013.
