The 2URBO Distance Support project was born in 2001 from the collaboration between AFN and the Uruguayan civil association “Comuni\u00f3n para el Desarrollo Social (CODESO)”, which since 1993 has been working to promote the integral development of minors. This action is part of regional and state programs to contrast poverty, and is implemented in a differentiated manner in the three centers founded by the association in Montevideo: the CAIF-Centre of Integral Assistance to Children and Families (for children from 0 to 3 years old and their parents\/guardians); the CLUB DE NI\u00d1OS (for children from 5 to 12 years old), and the CENTRO JUVENIL (for adolescents from 11 to 18 years old). <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

DEFINITION OF THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CONTEXT<\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Uruguay has a well-developed economic system, which, thanks to political stability and national reconstruction work after the dictatorship of the military, has managed to grow significantly from 2003 to 2019. This growth, driven by increased consumption and exports, has mitigated the socioeconomic impact of Covid-19. However, unemployment stands at 10.8%, and poverty affects 10.6% of the population, particularly affecting ethnic minority groups (Afro-descendants) and children under the age of 6. High inflation threatens people’s purchasing power. In general, major social and economic disparities still persist, due to structural constraints that prevent the country from further closing development gaps. Among the most significant factors include delays in educational attainment, weak integration into global trade, an insufficiently competitive environment, surface financial markets and chronically high inflation.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION<\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, has approximately 1.3 million inhabitants, equivalent to one third of the national population. The project is located in the Unidad Casavalle neighborhood, one of the poorest in the city. Born on the banks of the Casavalle River to accommodate rural workforce destined for the tannery and slaughterhouse industries, following the decline of this sector, the neighborhood has experienced a parallel economic and social decline, which has led to the formation of numerous settlements characterized by precarious living conditions and a high crime rate. Today, a middle class with a decent standard of living and a very poor one coexists in the neighborhoods. <\/p>\n

COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE OF THE PROJECT<\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The Centre covers a 3-hectare site, and has 5 structures that are wide, ventilated and bright, as well as green areas. A first building houses the Club de Ni\u00f1os and the Centro Juvenil, has 3 multi-purpose halls, a computer room, a library, a medical dispensary, a teachers’ room, the secretariat, bathrooms and changing rooms. In contrast, the CAIF is in a separate building. The other facilities include a dining room, two multipurpose halls, a large kitchen, a carpentry workshop, a storage room, a plastic room, and a semi-open space. Outside, there are two playgrounds, a multi-sports field under construction, and a football pitch. Each center has its own operational staff, which totals 32 employees, including social workers, psychologists, educators, administrative and maintenance staff.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
