1 – PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS AND PRECONDITIONS.

This project is part of the political concerns of the municipality of Santa Marta and the Carulla Foundation to improve the educational and nutritional conditions of the communities displaced by violence, and settled on the outside perimeter of the city.  It is meant to develop infrastructure to improve the conditions of early childhood and low-income neighborhoods to the most vulnerable population between ages of 0 to 5 years old.  These areas are characterized by violence and lack of public infrastructure.
