Problem Statement:

In 2019, the highest consumption was registered in alcohol, multiple substances and marijuana (SECCATID, 2019). In addition, 2 out of every 6 people served by SECCATID (2019) are between 15 and 19 years old. 

 

Target Group:

Residents of the Recovery Center for Alcoholics First Step (CRAPP)

 

Proposed Solution:

Faced with this problem, different spaces have been created such as the First Step Alcoholics Recovery Center (CRAPP). CRAPP residents need a holistic recovery for their social reintegration, therefore, the Regenerate project from the Guatemala City Global Shapers Hub (https://www.facebook.com/GlobalShapersGuate/), seeks to impact the rehabilitation and reintegration into society of CRAPP patients through therapeutic spaces connected with nature.

 

Hub Activities:

This impact will be achieved through:

1. Light and Irrigation, Nutrition, Pest and Waste Management Workshops


2. A garden care manual


3. Creation of an annual schedule


4. Manufacture and decoration of ecological flower pots


5. Group Therapy


6. Suggestion of nutritious recipes with garden products


7. Realization and maintenance of the garden


8. Waste management and composting workshops

 

Short & Long-Term Goals/Results:

Regenerating the quality of life of the residents and of the center through the creation of a profession for the residents and sustainable income for the center.
