They have conducted several feeding projects to maintain the level of health and nutrition of these beneficiaries but there is a Noon sister who leads the population to take advantage of every initiative offered.  In our case, we have maintained conversations with Sister Marta Escobar, who has supported us in identifying women beneficiaries to attend our socio education programs to teach or improve their basic  Entrepreneurial knowledge in order to make them productive individuals and consequently add value to their performance as households providing for their families, while these education contents aimed to enhance their abilities and preparation for work not only to begin or improve their economic initiatives, but also to strengthen them as employers for many women population who needs to be included in the economic system.
