Sur Solidario (ARG-11)
|
Brief description and main aims
The project is located in Lomas de Zamora, in peripheral neighborhoods in a socially vulnerable situation, where they are deprived, to a great extent, of basic necessities. The local communities are participatory and involved in the development of activities. It is located at a distance of 18 kilometers from the city of Buenos Aires.
The aim of the project is to accompany children in their grow-up process and be a protagonist of their own life. In addition, they support sustainable and ecological economic projects that promote the care of the environment.
This organization offers a safe place to more than 650 children in different areas of the city, located in the south of Buenos Aires. There they receive “merienda” (milk and cookies) after school and dinner and they participate in different recreational and pedagogical activities.
