NOTIGROBO – June / July 2018 Edition

Since 2016, and in partnership with the Ministry of Social Development of the Nation (Secretariat of Accompaniment and Social Protection), the Los Grobo Foundation team disembarked in the Barrio General Paz, located in the northwest of the City of Santiago del Estero, where approximately 3,000 families live, mostly in poverty or indigence.

Through the adaptation of the methodological platform of social investment, territorial development and collective impact "Potenciar Comunidades", a strategy of approach was designed to implement the National Plan of Social Protection there, from which they are directly accompanying 220 families in issues of social security, access to health, housing, education, family dynamics and income generation. By the end of this year, the program will reach some 500 families.

In partnership with the Municipality of Santiago del Estero, and together with different local organizations and families, a Community Development Plan was designed that identifies the main problems and opportunities and - at the same time - defines different strategies and concrete solutions in social matters, economic and environmental.

In this line, for example, it is planned to install a square, a space for technological inclusion, improve the library of the neighborhood, create a space for the development of enterprises and generate income for families, among other initiatives.
