Lidia Figueroa

Lidia Figueroa is a 45-year-old educator who has deep roots in Boca de Uracillo, a community that will be displaced due to the construction of a reservoir aimed at providing fresh water for the Panama Canal. Although she currently resides in Colón, she remains connected to her heritage and family in the area. Lidia understands the necessity of the water project but emphasizes the importance of considering the emotional and cultural impacts on her community, which has relied on the river for generations. She is actively involved in discussions regarding the resettlement process, advocating for the needs and rights of her fellow residents.
