REBUILDING MEXICO, CLEANING OUR COUNTRY
We build homes with recyclable materials to people who lost their homes due to natural disasters.
VIEM MX was born as an emerging initiative to rebuild homes for those affected by the earthquake of September 19 in an ecological way. Today, life opened the opportunity for us to do more. VIEM MX is an association that is rebuilding our country based on the three pillars of sustainability: ecological, social and environmental. This is achieved with our three main programs: ecological construction, donating recycling and volunteering. This is how we do it: The program “Dona Reciclando” fulfills two functions: to collect enough bottles for our constructions, coming from schools, companies, massive events, collection centers in the city and in the countryside, as well as diverse recyclable materials to sell them and obtain economic funds for our operation At the same time we generate social awareness about the importance of separating waste and recycling.
