By Obra Padre Mario Pantaleo Team | Project Leader
We are very happy to tell you that we have launched “Grandes Conexiones” the app, a mobile application to facilitate access to relevant information for seniors.
“Grandes Conexiones” seeks to improve the lives of seniors through a mobile app that provides them with relevant information and facilitates social connection, thus addressing one of the challenges of aging.
The application centralizes community services and activities, reduces the digital divide through training, and promotes participation in virtual workshops and local activities. It is expected that the use of this application will have an impact on the well-being of the elderly and their sense of belonging to their community.
We are especially grateful to Fundación Navarro Viola for the support they gave us with this initiative, awarding us two years ago the prize in the Elderly category of the XXII Biennial Award Special Edition 50 years.
The app is for national use in Argentina
Let's hope that this new year find us strengthened to respond to the exponential amount of needs that we face on a daily basis.
Thank you for reading us, for joining us.
La Obra del Padre Mario Pantaleo is an NGO that has been working in Argentina since 1968, founded by an Italian priest, Giuseppe Mario Pantaleo. Currently, the process of his canonisation and beatification is underway. La Obra provides real opportunities for learning, social inclusion and progress in 15,000 m2 to more than 40,000 people. All the buildings are at the service of human development: Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary School, the University College, the Higher Institute, La Huella Educational Centre, the Arts and Crafts Square, the Sports Centre, the Santa Inés Comprehensive Training Centre, the CABA and Santa Fe Day Care Centres, the Polyclinic and the Care Centre for the Elderly.
