  • Siadlys Bajuelo washes her one year old son Manuel Alejandro Brito.  Up until a few months ago Bajuelo had to walk 2km to retrieve water to use at home.  She now gets water delivered to her home 3 times a week by a PDVSA truck.  Across the street from her home PDVSA is building a fresh water well that will supply running water directly to Bajuelo's home as well as other homes in the community.  PDVSA has increased their spending on social programs from 29 millions US$ in 2003 to 1.7 billion in 2004.  20% of their 50 billion dollar investment budget is being used for social development.  Critics claim that this is hurting PDVSA's ability to continue producing oil and that an oil company shouldn't be involved in social programs.  Proponents claim that this is a new PDVSA with a responsibility to help the impoverished communities in Venezuela.
