Family-Based Early Childhood Development Program (DIF) – Haciendo Camino:
The DIF Program is part of the civil association Haciendo Camino, which since 2006 has worked to improve the quality of life of families in situations of social vulnerability in Northern Argentina. The programs are primarily aimed at ensuring proper nutrition and comprehensive development for children aged 0 to 5; supporting, training, and empowering women and mothers from pregnancy onwards; and strengthening families and communities.
All beneficiary families receive personalized support in their homes, through which risk factors, strengths, and existing resources are identified to help achieve their goals. From there, interventions are planned to find effective solutions to their problems related to health, housing, basic services, income, and education.
Caminos de Tiza
The "Caminos de Tiza" Mobile Classrooms are based on a Community Education proposal led by volunteers in landfills, Indigenous communities, and marginalized neighborhoods in different Argentine localities. The project also includes free workshops on inclusive education and teaching strategies for public education centers.
Its main objective is the inclusion of migrants and Indigenous people with disabilities. Caminos de Tiza reaches populations in landfills, rural settlements, colonies, and vulnerable neighborhoods through an itinerant approach.
Currently, the initiative serves around 700 people, focusing particularly on children with disabilities, in areas affected by illiteracy, drug trafficking, human trafficking, pedophilia networks, malnutrition, child labor, and infant mortality.
Screens and Early Childhood: Caring for Children’s Healthy Development
This initiative aims to train families—especially those from vulnerable sectors—on the negative effects of early and excessive screen use in children aged 0 to 8.
Through 20 in-person and virtual workshops in collaboration with community spaces, the project offers clear and empathetic information, materials, and practical tools to encourage healthy device use, promote play, language development, creativity, and social interaction.
The project includes follow-up support and the participation of child health professionals. It is part of the broader work led by Fainboim as the digital citizenship coordinator for the La Salle Network and spokesperson for initiatives with UNICEF on digital well-being and online risk prevention.
