CDI Center Gonzales Catan

CDI Foundation provides technological tools for non-governmental organizations working in different communities. In the last three months, CDI created 13 Digital Inclusion Centers in Argentina. In each of these Centers, CDI contributes through digital inclusion to the specific social purpose of these organizations. This joint effort is geared towards community progress in areas such as: attention to aged people; development of community opportunities; care of disabled people; cultural and educational promotion; reproductive and sexual education; motivating youngsters to finish their education; helping young people to find jobs. The outcome of this effort is that members of the communities become change propellants in their own environment.
