The goal of this project was to empower the La Conde community in Carolina, Puerto Rico, by enhancing organizational systems through information technology. Partnering with Las Parceleras Afrocaribeñas, a non-profit organization, we improved their data systems for the La Conde Project, a grassroots initiative that is transforming an abandoned school into a thriving community center. Our collaboration led to the development of four tailored products: a digital inventory system for the community kitchen, a participant management system, emergency escape route maps, and user manuals for system sustainability. These solutions significantly increased La Conde's efficiency, enabling the community to manage resources, track participation, ensure safety, and sustain their initiatives.
