Day Care und Kindergarten / Guardería y Jardín de Infantes "José Hidalgo"

The children of the Single Mother‘s Home attend the day care and the kindergarten programs for low income families and the programs also offer job opportunities to some mothers.

Furthermore, around 90% of the almost 150 children attending these programs live with only one parent. There is a high rate of unemployment and incidences of alcoholism, low education, abandonment, etc., among these fathers and mothers.

AVANZAR started supporting these institutions in 2008. Our first action was to acquire the full support of the University of Cuenca Medical School (project estimated at $32,000 USD) as well as volunteers who work with them in different areas.

AVANZAR began supporting these institutions in 2008. Our first action was to get the full support of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Cuenca (project estimated at $32,000 USD) as well as volunteers who work with them in different areas.


What have we done?

  • Created a program with the University of Cuenca School of Medicine to cover all the health and prevention needs of the children and their families. Doctors, nutritionists, therapists, etc, work on a regular basis with them and follow up on the development of the children.
  • Coordinated with volunteers working with the care of the children and helped with expertise and recommendations. For example, Lilian Gilgen sorted out their first aid kits and prepared a list of medicines and suggestions for their use.

¿Qué hemos realizado?

 

  • Creamos un programa con la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Cuenca para cubrir todas las necesidades sanitarias y de prevención de los niños y sus familias. Médicos, nutricionistas, terapeutas, etc., trabajan regularmente con ellos y hacen un seguimiento del desarrollo de los niños.
  • Se coordina con los voluntarios que trabajan en el cuidado de los niños y se les ayuda con conocimientos y recomendaciones. Por ejemplo, Lilian Gilgen ordenó sus botiquines de primeros auxilios y preparó una lista de medicamentos y sugerencias para su uso.
