Centro CONIN
As a CONIN Network Center, we work on the Prevention of Child Malnutrition using a comprehensive approach to the problem that includes educational workshops for mothers, professional care for children from 0 to 5 years old and assistance through different programs. We promote joint actions with the public sector, without falling into welfare that may generate dependency.
