González Catán, Route 3, Km 31. Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.

“A man alone does not do, it is the community that does. We are seeking for the

community: a unique body, with a unique desire, with a unique

will, and with a unique sacrifice…”

Fragment of the speech Father Mario pronounced at the end of the 80s, at the opening ceremony of the asphalts that improved the access to the Villa Carmen neighborhood, in González Catán.

Mission: “To promote human development in González Catán through a model of charitable redistribution, excellence management, and service quality”.

The "Obra del Padre Mario" is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that, since 1968, promotes human development through different projects and services, directly and indirectly benefiting more than 32,000 people in the community of González Catán, Province of Buenos Aires.

We work on lines of action that try to cover the essential aspects that people experience throughout their lives: education, community, work, disability, third age, health and sports.

In order to guarantee the sustainability and independence of the organization, financing sources are diversified, the most important one being that which gathers the donations of individuals and companies. This aid allows us to work for “human development through the joint effort of the entire community,” as our founder desired.

Community

PADREMARIO.ORG05.

Through different proposals we seek to respond to the needs of the community.

Arts and Crafts Square (PAyO): It is a space for vocational training where young people and adults are trained and acquire the necessary skills to orient and insert themselves into the world of work. We make agreements with organizations and companies, which allow the students to conduct professional practices and achieve labor insertion.

Social Promotion and Assistance Center (CePAS): This center focuses help on the most needy families of our community. In addition, it is a local reference in the building of community alliances and state-financed social programs.

“La Huella” Educational Center: This non-formal educational space offers different activities out of school hours and also pre-Square activities, i.e. the same trade learning activities as in the PAyO, but limited to the age of the participants.

UNOxUNO and SAD Sponsorship Programs: Since 2002 we assist children and adolescents so they grow up in a healthy and improving environment, emphasizing their permanence in the formal education system. The SAD (Sostegno a Distanza) program is similar to the UNOxUNO sponsorship but differs in the origin of the sponsors, who are mostly Italian.
