Cecosesola is a Venezuelan cooperative network that provides essential services such as food distribution, healthcare, and transportation to its members. Founded in the 1960s, Cecosesola operates on principles of self-management, solidarity, and collective decision-making. The cooperative’s activities are centered around weekly food fairs, where members can purchase affordable, high-quality produce directly from local farmers. Cecosesola also runs a healthcare clinic and other community services, all managed democratically by its members. In a country facing significant economic challenges, Cecosesola has become a model of resilience and community empowerment, showing how cooperative enterprises can meet the needs of people in times of crisis.
