Project: House next door
The owners of the HOUSE NEXT DOOR are lending it to us for free use. The challenge will be to give it a new value as it needs cleaning, weeding, repairs, painting and others.
About our association
What do we do
Acompañar con Educación y Responsabilidad (ACER) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization (CSO - Civil Society Organization) dedicated to the prevention of child malnutrition and human development in underdeveloped neighborhoods.
Our programs
Our comprehensive programs, based on Conin methodology and Montessori pedagogy, cover the areas of nutrition, human development, social focus and stimulation. Vulnerable populations in the Buenos Aires suburbs are served, specifically Villas La Cava and Uruguay in San Isidro & Villa Las Flores in Vicente López.
