CVG-Minerven "endogenous development" seeks prosperity through gold-mining cooperatives, social production companies

VHeadline Venezuela News reports: The Venezuelan Guayana Corporation (CVG) subsidiary CVG-Minerven is reporting progress with a number of social projects in the gold-mining communities of El Callao and Roscio municipalities in southeastern Venezuela. Describing it as "endogenous development" CVG-Minerven's coordinator of social welfare, Jesus Nino says "we are working on the basis of community organization to achieve the goals of increased prosperity within the communities through cooperatives, social production companies ... supporting people to organize better and to implement projects in community councils which identify the locality and work perfectly well."

"We are making efforts to deploy people productively, giving them the know-how to produce efficiently and effectively in every community or sector. In Caratal we are supporting people through a social fund which approves the implementation of small-scale business projects ... we have nine other projects under which community councils receive our support."

CVG-Minerven says it has tried to get the (Bolivar) State Governor (Francisco Rangel Gomez) to take an interest in what the company's social welfare department is doing and they have met with representatives from public water supplier. Hidrobolivar, to have them shoulder certain social responsibilities. They are also dealing with health problems through the central government's Barrio Adentro Mission to ensure supplies of pharmaceuticals, surgical interventions and hospital transfers to support various communities ... "We are satisfied with Minerven's endogenous development work," Nino says.

In the Loco de Caratal neighborhood there are 17 families affected by explosions at the open-pit Union mine. CVG-Minerven says it is constructing 43 houses to resolve the situation but some families are refusing to leave their homes although we tell them that they will get new homes in agreement between all parties concerned --- "we want to give people back their family dignity to deal with social debts to help them strengthen their ties in Roscio and El Callao."
