The Guanajuato state government and the state DIF have launched the ‘Historias Centenarias: Recetas para Vivir’ initiative to honor residents aged 100 and older across the state’s 46 municipalities.

During a state event, officials recognized 151 centenarians, including individuals who shared memories of historical events such as the 1926 floods. The program aims to celebrate these residents as the “living memory and pillars of the state and country.”

Subsequent recognitions, such as that of 101-year-old Eufemia Rodríguez Juárez from Irapuato, highlight the initiative’s goal to share the wisdom and life lessons of centenarians. Officials noted that these individuals provide identity, teachings, and values to their communities and serve as examples for younger generations.
