These actions transcend the simple delivery of school supplies, since they also seek to encourage children to continue their studies, thus contributing to the prevention of school dropouts in rural communities. In addition, they commit parents to guarantee their children’s attendance at schools, strengthening the social fabric and promoting the safety of children in vulnerable territories of the Fifth Division.
