The mission of Fundacion Despertar is to promote the survival and
effectiveness of rural schools in the Department of San Alberto,
PROGRAMS AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS
- Despertar has created a toy library and a mobile book library so children can take toys and books to their homes. This activity has a great impact in the families because siblings, parents and grandparents can share the games and readings.
- The foundation has repaired the community first-aid post which now has a bathroom, a cement floor, two windows, a water tank and painted walls. (All this was possible through a donation by SD Argentina, individual donations, and the cooperation and labour of the local residents.)
- Through the Mina Clavero Cooperativa Eléctrica medical team, Despertar obtained a monthly sanitary check in Villa Benegas.
- Currently all the children and the 60 % of the women have received a health check-up.
- Fundacion Despertar has conducted workshops on hepatitis, diarrhoea, parasites, and hypertension.
- Despertar received a subsidy from the Catholic University of Cordoba in order to give training workshops about resilience to the rural schoolteachers.
