Workers' project

THE VOID IN MY LIFE IS FILLED BY YOUR SMILES

The Workers Project belonging to the Arco Iris Foundation, intervened with children, adolescents, young people and working families; always with the spirit and the duty to enforce and prevail their rights, seeking to prevent different risks, such as assuming life on the street, breaking the emotional ties with the family, dropping out of school or college, engaging in alcohol consumption or other drugs and finally entering into criminal activities.

The population assisted by the Workers Project are NNATs who carry out any type of labor activity, families in vulnerable situations and/or poverty, who are in labor activity exposing their children to any type of risk; also with families who develop small informal commercial activities, encouraging the culture of saving.
