51% of households experiencing multidimensional poverty in Chile are led by women.(Casen, 2022)
At Fundación Javier Arrieta, over 99% of caregivers for children and youth in our programs are women. This highlights the vulnerability of this group, as they often face overwhelming responsibilities and a lack of support.
Our Family Support Groups bring together the caregivers of children and youth in our programs. We hold regular meetings to help them build strong support networks with other beneficiary families while providing workshops and activities that strengthen their autonomy and independence.
How the Program Helps
Support Networks
Caregivers connect with one another, share experiences, exchange advice, and receive emotional support, helping them build resilience in their daily challenges.
Workshops & Activities
We offer tailored workshops and training sessions based on the needs of each group, empowering women to develop new skills and strengthen their self-confidence.
Autonomy & Independence
By fostering self-sufficiency, we provide caregivers with the tools to improve their job opportunities and reduce financial dependence on family members or government aid.
