The Yambambo sociocultural community project is currently focused on fostering and preserving Haitian roots and traditions in this central province.

Sponsored by the Nicolas Guillen Foundation, this community project is based in the Tuero neighborhood in Moron municipality, where customs and cultural practices brought by Haitian immigrants in the last century are kept alive.

Haitian descendants here preserve the beliefs, religious ceremonies, culinary and beverage traditions inherited from their ancestors, as well as the use of green medicine to cure diseases.

This project has also allowed women to enter the workforce, since they are currently responsible for the sale of handicrafts and traditional Haitian food, which has greatly benefited Tuero residents.
