The Family Centers Program began implementing a new phase in Concordia. This joint public policy between the National Ministry of Human Capital and the Municipality reaches 3,500 children and adolescents between 6 and 17 years old who are beneficiaries of the Alimentar benefit and the Universal Child Allowance (AUH).
This Monday, POS terminals were delivered to the participating centers, which now number over one hundred, including clubs, sports entities, dance schools, cultural workshops, and educational spaces, where beneficiaries will be able to attend.
Mayor Francisco Azcué stated that this is part of an action “where we accompany and work with the family as the primary nucleus of development, with a tool that allows children and young people to carry out extracurricular activities, where the State stops monopolizing and positions institutions as spaces for growth.”
“We know the commitment that each one has to this program because they want the best for the community. Today the number of beneficiaries is 3,500, with a presence throughout the city, and we hope to continue expanding the possibilities. We are a team that manages and works for Concordia,” highlighted Azcué.
Sebastián Arístide, Secretary of Human Development, pointed out that “we are very satisfied with the steps we are taking so far because we have reached most of the neighborhoods, where the participating centers are a fundamental pillar for this to be carried out. We want to continue growing because we see how the daily dynamics of the first beneficiaries have changed, as they are already attending various sports, cultural, or educational activities that for a long time were postponed.”
From the Undersecretariat of Territorial Policies and Human Development, belonging to the Ministry of Human Capital, it was highlighted that the main objective is to strengthen families, facilitating access for children and young people to activities that for various reasons they cannot currently access, allowing them to choose where they want to go and what to do.
Furthermore, it was recalled that the families of the beneficiaries have access to workshops and talks aimed at providing tools to strengthen parenting, promoting the exchange of experiences and highlighting the importance of play, reading, and adequate nutrition. The idea is for each member of the family to consolidate themselves as human capital for their development in a society that goes beyond the space in which they move daily.
The activity was attended by Mariano Uset, Undersecretary of Territorial Policies and Human Development; Francisco Palacin, National Director of Territorial Articulation; Martin Wolf, National Director of Family Development; and Felipe Mattio, Director of Territorial Approach of the Municipality.
