Implementing reconstruction actions in the schools located in vulnerable zones within the communities affected by a natural disaster through the program Tools for Knowledge of Fondo Unido Mexico. 3. Presenting actions that promote the participation focused to the prevention and attention of natural disasters in the damaged school communities.
