Improvements to Pueblo Nuevo Abajo Village School

The village of Pueblo Nuevo Abajo, located in the lower part of the municipality of San Jacinto, Chiquimula, sits on mostly flat terrain compared to the surrounding mountainous areas, under the warm climate of the Dry Corridor. With a population of 329, its economy is primarily agricultural, focusing on the production of staple grains and small-scale livestock grazing. In the education sector, the community has primary schools at risk of closing due to low student attendance. Healthcare is addressed through a preventative approach, emphasizing access to safe water and waste management to reduce the health vulnerabilities of families, although residents must travel to the health center in the urban area. Due to its location, transportation is more accessible than in the higher-altitude villages, with roads facilitating vehicle access to the town center. The village's development is linked to the modernization of agriculture and the optimization of public services to improve the population's climate resilience.
