  • 22 CDIs in Mendoza equipped with games kits to promote children’s active lives and more than 50 teachers trained to use them properly.
  • 95 fruit and vegetable suppliers involved.
  • + 400 girls and boys attending CDIs.
  • Agreements and work alliances with the local governments of 7 towns and/or districts and with the provincial governments of Mendoza, Río Negro and San Juan.

 This initiative has been carried out by the Food Business Unit since 2006, and aims at engaging the supply chain in the elimination of child labor in production farms located in the provinces of Mendoza, Río Negro and San Juan.

This program has three specific lines of action:
