The Community Library Ventanas Abiertas al Futuro are empowering women to have a better lives in the community. During the 2017 first quarterly, this library has trained to 15 women organized to develop a multiplier effect and transfer of knowledge in stimulation to reading; this helps the promotion of the program at community level. As a direct result, 41 women of Chiche promote breastfeeding as an important food in children aged 0 to 5 years old.

The library implements an early childhood development reading program with a nutritional approach that offers children a wide variety of experiences necessary to maximize their physical and psychological abilities. In addition an environment enriched with the necessary stimuli for its development and thus to avoid many of the problems of learning.

This Reading program is also aimed at stimulating a spirit of curiosity and observation of the child, to initiate it in the understanding and interpretation of the world that surrounds it.

The strategy is provided knowledge to parents through different techniques that encourage the stimulation of their own children, as well as learning the preparation of nutritious foods that contribute to the strengthening of children's learning.
