Support for the Construction of the Center for Primary Attention (CAP due to its acronym in Spanish) in Ilom, Chajul, Quiché

One of the most affected regions by the internal armed conflict that the country experienced in 1960 to 1996 was the Ixil region, which includes the municipalities of Santa María Nebaj, San Gaspar Chajul, and San Juan Cotzal, all in the Quiché territorial division. The three municipalities are still difficult to reach, and public services of the State of Guatemala are still dubious in this area.

This is why the government of Guatemala decided to build a Permanent Attention Center known as CAP (due to its acronym in Spanish), in the Ilom village of the San Gaspar Chajul municipality, which allows the provision of external consultation services, stabilization in emergencies, as well as other services to the important population that lives in this remote area of the country. The government of Guatemala decided that the construction would be carried out by the Engineer Corp of the Guatemalan Army, and requested the Mario López Estrada Foundation to donate part of the construction materials.
