Achievements
    In its 14 years of existence the PRO CHILDREN FOUNDATION OF DARIEN has successfully concluded many projects in the Darien Province, including:
 
   
  • We began in 1990 with 4 school dining rooms. We currently have 100 school dining rooms.
     
  • The FUNPRODA project in Darien started with 700 children. Today the number has increased to more than 10,000 “Darienita” children receiving food daily.
 

A group of students enjoys a nutritive breakfast provided by the Foundation at the Agua Fría #2 School Dinning Room.

   
  • The development of the self-sustainable agricultural production program began with the Foundation’s Model Farm in the community of “Villa Darién.” Thanks to financing projects the number of farms has increased.
     
  • Due to the endeavors of the PRO CHILDREN FOUNDATION OF DARIEN in 100 educational centers in the Province, school levels have increased and student desertion diminished.
   
  • The experience, prestige and success gained by the projects of the PRO CHILDREN FOUNDATION OF DARIEN have given the Foundation the opportunity to obtain the management and execution of important projects financed by internationaloffering basic health services,  and community support.

Children from the Agua Fría #2 School perform dances for Rossana de Lasso, Dora Bermúdez de Maduro and Betzaida de Delgado, in a cultural event that took place during the distribution of school supplies in April 2003.

   

These projects are: “Paquete de Servicios Básicos de Salud Integral y Nutrición (SBSIN)” (Basic Services Package for Integral Health and Nourishment); “Paquete de Atención Integral de Servicios de Salud (PAISS)” (Integral Attention Health Services Package); and “Desarrollo Comunitario Darién” (DECO-DARIEN) (Darien Community Development).
