Prevention of school dropout
We work to improve school performance and prevent absenteeism and early dropout in the classrooms of children and adolescents in vulnerable situations, working comprehensively in the family and school environment.
How do we do it?
Through educational reinforcement, psychological support, family intervention and educational leisure activities.
In 2025, 397 children and adolescents received educational support , and we assisted 300 families
We developed three major projects:
Development of socioemotional competencies, favoring the personal development and social integration of children.
Programs in which we work
We work mainly from a group perspective, assisting minors and young people in situations of difficulty and/or social risk in order to achieve their social integration and autonomy.
Continue readingThrough individualized, specialized, and intensive social and educational interventions, we contribute to the personal development of children and adolescents at high social risk from an inclusive perspective, in coordination with the social, educational, and health services in their community.
