In 2025, Pequeños Pasos continued walking step by step with thousands of families across Argentina, always guided by one mission: to ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow up healthy, supported, and with hope for the future.
At the heart of this mission lies our Early Childhood Program, which today reaches more than 750 children between 0 and 5 years old. This year, we strengthened our centers with new technical teams, including social workers, psychologists, nutritionists, and early stimulation experts. Families took part in parenting workshops, group meetings, and individual follow-ups, which allowed us to respond to complex social situations with care and dignity.
We are already seeing the results: children are showing clear progress in language, socialization, and autonomy. These small but powerful changes remind us that when we invest in early childhood, we are laying the foundation for a lifetime of opportunities.
In Ushuaia, our Child Development Center became a model of this vision. Thanks to the donation of a vehicle, we can now ensure that children from remote areas—often isolated by harsh weather—arrive safely every day. This mobility also allows us to support family gardens and transport donations, further strengthening the community network around our little ones.
While early childhood remains our core focus, our other programs continue to grow alongside it:
Children and Adolescents: More than 850 boys and girls participated in sports, arts, and personal development workshops, finding in football, dance, and cooking not only skills but also values of teamwork, expression, and resilience.
Vocational Training: Over 6,000 young people and adults attended workshops in carpentry, tailoring, IT, hospitality, and more—opening real opportunities for employment and community development across Argentina.
None of this would be possible without the strong network of allies that believe in our mission. Today, more than 50 companies are part of our commitment to reach 100 partners, ensuring the sustainability of these programs. Volunteer families, donors, and international collaborations—from Madrid to Miami—continue to multiply the impact of every single step we take.
As we look back at 18 years of work, we know that the challenge is enormous: more than half of Argentina’s population lives in poverty, and childhood is the most affected. Yet, every child who learns a new word, every family who feels supported, and every step forward in our Early Childhood Program proves that change is possible.
Pequeños Pasos does not change lives—it improves them. And in every smile, every achievement, every embrace, we see that a better future for Argentina begins in the first years of life.
