The project will help to provide food, educative and recreational activities for children in an Argentinian vulnerable neighborhood. The project is considered an after school program where many At-risk children need support in order to perform better at school and strengthen their family bonds. More than 100 kids are already attending the center to grow in a loving and caring atmosphere. We intend to keep up the work we have been doing for the last 14 years at our Educational Center San Ignacio
According to the quality of life index from CONICET, in a scale from 1 to 10 this community suffers the 3 worst possible conditions. Their social context is affected by weak family bonds based on violence. Economic development is marked by poor employment quality and inflation that lead the head of the house-hold to work in bad conditions for low income. On top of that, enviromental conditions restrict the access to basic services like high quality water or health assitance, among others.
Manos Abiertas provides at the Center food, educational support, emotional support and channels donations for families in critical situations. It intends to accompany the ones that suffer the most this conditions: children. We palliate adverse social conditions by strengthening their family bonds and stimulate the presence of their mother/father or tutor in the learning process of them.
The project will provide food and material for the educational and recreative activities held at the center to the 100 children that assist to it for almost a year. It will give them tools and create opportunities for them to enrich and dream about a prosper and certain future.
