Our center “La Nazarena” in Florencio Varela / Buenos Aires,
has a strategic location surrounded by numerous and diverse neighborhoods in situations of social vulnerability. The Center’s mission is to respond to and support the educational, health and work needs of these communities.
In the area of education,
this year we incorporated the possibility for students over 18 years of age to prepare themselves in our center and take their last subjects in order to finish high school and have access to more promising possibilities for their future.
In the area of work,
training courses are given in gastronomy, hairdressing, barbering, computer and programming, so that students can start their own businesses and gain access to decent employment. At present, a batch of 14 courses with a total of 210 students has been completed and another one is starting.
In the health area,
La Nazarena has a group of volunteer medical professionals who carry out periodic check-ups and vaccination days. At the moment we are collecting money to buy vitamin supplements and medicines for our children, since due to poor nutrition and the release of gases from open dumps, most of the children suffer from respiratory infections and depressed immune systems.
