An Argentine project provides glasses to those who cannot afford them and at the same time takes care of the environment
The Argentine project Banco de Anteojos, created by Enrique Bach and supported by Fundación Hacer Futuro, collects and repurposes used eyeglass frames, equipping them with prescription lenses for those in need. The initiative has reutilized 5,000 frames, benefiting 3,750 people with vision difficulties. It operates mainly in San Miguel de Tucumán but also extends to other provinces. The project has a significant social and environmental impact, providing a simple, low-cost solution for a common problem and is easily replicable elsewhere. It was recognized by CAF and América Futura for its contribution to sustainable development in Latin America.
How a group of Uruguayan rural producers managed to reverse the impact of the drought
In Uruguay, a group of rural producers in Valle de Lunarejo, Rivera, have successfully mitigated the effects of a prolonged drought through a conservation program led by INDRA, in partnership with the Intendencia Departamental de Rivera, Fundación Avina, Coca-Cola Uruguay, and the national Ministry of Environment's Sistema Nacional de Áreas Protegidas. The program, which began in 2017, has conserved over 3,000 hectares of native forests and wetlands, and 7,000 hectares of natural lands, by implementing sustainable production methods, reforestation, and water management strategies. These efforts have doubled or quintupled water infiltration and accumulation in the soil compared to non-intervention areas, helping the local producers avoid severe water deficits. The model is being replicated in the Santa Lucía river basin and is seen as a sustainable and replicable approach to reversing intensive resource use.
How to create job opportunities for women in historically male-dominated jobs
Gender equity in the workplace is increasingly scrutinized, with gender pay gaps being a significant issue. In Argentina, women earn on average 28.1% less than men, with the gap widening in informal employment. Fundación Oficios, led by Sergio Moreno, has been addressing the lack of access to certain sectors by providing training to women, particularly in historically male-dominated fields like transportation and energy. In partnership with Bayer and local municipalities, they launched a course in Rojas, Buenos Aires, to train 21 women as forklift operators. The initiative, Aprender +, has been successful in meeting community demand and has already impacted over 690 residents with various skills training. The courses are designed with gender equity in mind and adapt to the women's schedules, encouraging their participation in a male-dominated work environment.
10% of the population has dyslexia but few know it: an association achieved a law to eliminate learning barriers and works to ensure it is enforced
Disfam Argentina, a non-profit organization, has been instrumental in advocating for the rights of individuals with dyslexia in Argentina. The organization, founded by parents and professionals, has successfully influenced legislation, including the pioneering Law 27306, which aims to ensure inclusive education for those with specific learning difficulties. Despite the legal framework, challenges remain in its implementation, with many families facing barriers in accessing appropriate educational and medical support. The article highlights the ongoing efforts of Disfam and the need for greater awareness and training among educators to support students with dyslexia effectively.
Hugs, Songs, and Smiles: The Affective Nutrition That Changes the Lives of Newborns Separated from Their Families
The article highlights the work of Fundación Canguro, a non-profit organization in Uruguay that provides emotional support to newborns separated from their families. Founded by Pamela Moreira, the organization focuses on 'affective nutrition' through physical and emotional care, which has been shown to improve the development of these infants. The foundation operates primarily in the Centro Hospitalario Pereira Rossell in Montevideo and the Hospital de Maldonado Dr. Elbio Rivero, with the help of 429 volunteers. The article underscores the importance of emotional care for newborns and the positive impact it has on their development.
