CAEMBA is a protagonist in The Fixers

In October 2019, the filming of an episode of the television show ‘The Fixers’ took place, in which four North American builders had to visit a dozen communities over ten weeks and rebuild or contribute with their knowledge to positively impact the places where they filmed each episode.

A year ago, they contributed to the construction of the Women’s Entrepreneurship House in the Nueva Esperanza neighborhood in Atacames. Today, this project is making steady progress, training many women in trades so that they can be financially sustainable.

We invite you to watch this episode, which aired on October 21, 2020.
