Social Responsability
The housing project of CasaGrande is unique. It started from a disaster in 2007, August 15th, when a 8.0 magnitude earthquake hit our town, and many people perished and houses fell. La Calera decided to take action and built 540 homes for our workers.
Main Beneficiaries
2000+ people
Now live in these homes. They were sold to our workers at a very low price, subsidized by La Calera and a government grant that that achieved a 10x value over the price paid
Main Programs
Casa Grande
Is located in the outskirts of Chincha, in the district of Alto Laran. La Calera created Casagrande to build 540 houses 750 sq-ft each for our workers in 2010.
