Community development and government services initiatives in Lerma and Juan José Ríos

In Lerma, over 600 residents of the El Espino Peralta community participated in a communal work day to improve local infrastructure. Led by municipal president Miguel Ángel Ramírez Ponce, the initiative focused on the fifth stage of Ciro Ortega street, adding 150 linear meters of pavement. To date, the community has completed 700 of the 926 total linear meters planned. The project also included strengthening the hydraulic network, with the local water organization providing grates and upcoming plans to deliver potable water piping.

In Juan José Ríos, Sinaloa, Mayor Evangelina Llanes Carreón organized the ‘Ayuntamiento en tu Comunidad’ (City Hall in your Community) event in the El Cerro Cabezón district. The program brought government services directly to the population, including medical services, legal and psychological counseling, and the distribution of reading glasses. Conducted in collaboration with federal and state authorities as part of a national peace-building strategy, the event also featured a recruitment module for the Armed Forces and demonstrations of tactical equipment.
