This Community Soup Kitchen is located in Villa 21, a large and unstable housing settlement south of Buenos Aires. It mostly lacks paved roads and sewerage; many houses are made of perishable materials and have no running water or drainage. The neighborhood faces serious health problems, as it is located on a creek that divides the capital city of the province. The creek itself is highly contaminated, causing respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases that primarily affect children. The soup kitchen is visited by approximately 50 people from the neighborhood for breakfast and lunch every day. They can eat at the soup kitchen, but most of them take food back home to share with their families, reaching up to 200 people. The soup kitchen is also part of a Community Center that tries to help the unprivileged population from this area. They work with families and children, from infants to 3 years old, supporting them in their growing and development process together with a team of professionals and social workers. This Community Center was founded in 1994 and began as a soup kitchen until it expanded into a kindergarten with the help of mothers from the area.
