As a result of the economic crisis generated by COVID-19, 415 families in our Child Development Centers were affected at the employment level, so their income decreases and for almost all year they couldn't cover their basic needs (housing, food, emotional well-being). For this reason, Fundación DEHVI created the Pursuing Opportunities employability campaign, providing strategies to re-enfoce life skills, CV preparation, tips for job interviews, among others, with the families. In addition, we reached an alliance with the employment platform Mi Host, in which families included their CV and applied for job offers.
Our family support in 2020 was complemented with:
Nutrition and greeting: the monthly shipment of food and hygiene items, as well as a nutritional campaign with healthy low-budget recipes.
Education: pedagogical activities to be carried out as a family and virtual participation in educational projects for children who did not regularly attend children's centers.
Mental Health and Protection: campaigns for the prevention of domestic violence and accompaniment of our psychologists to promote mental health.
In 2021 families started working again and today our focus is in reducing the gaps in development that children could have during pandemic times. We will share our new strategies to achieve this goal in the next report.
Thanks to be part of our mission through your emotional and economic investmentment.
