Timely Care for Early Childhood and Families

Hello and thank you for your support! 

2022 was a year of hard work. We are happy to have accomplished,

1. We were able to work with 120 women and their 135 children between 0 and 5 years old from a vulnerable context neighborhood "Villa 21-24" of Barracas.
2. We conducted initial and final interviews with 100% of the participants to get to know them better and their personal processes throughout this year. 
3. We execute four social programs to respond to the different needs of the participants:

• Parenting Circle: We work with mothers - from the gestating stage up to one-year-old children - on promoting comprehensive health for the mother and the children.It is a critical stage to prevent infant and maternal mortality and promote a safe bond between mother and child.
• "Cuidados y Alimentación Saludable" (Healthy eating): We focus on preventing malnutrition. We apply a proven method that works with a multi-disciplinary team that approaches different aspects of child development: Social workers, nutritionists, educational psychologists, ETC. 
• "FortaleSiendo" (strengthen/being): We work with women and children that have suffered from gender-based violence. We create support networks and promote healthy ties. 
• "Jugar es Cuidar" (Safe Play): We focus on developing safe bonds through recreational spaces between children and their caring adults. Due to the high demands in the Community Health Centers, we made an alliance in which, from this program, we could attend to families on the waiting list for the attention of cases related to pediatrics, speech therapy, and psychopedagogy.

Also, we facilitate some workshops open to everyone in the community, such as: “Complementary Baby Feeding”, “Raising and Nutrition”, “Construction of limits in Early Childhood” and “Couples and Parenting”. 

WE ARE STARTING A NEW YEAR OF HARD WORK. WE NEED YOUR COLLABORATION!!
