Intervención social en situación de pobreza extrema : caso de una familia en el cantón Zamora, provincia de Zamora Chinchipe.

Abstract

The present complex work deals with social intervention in extreme poverty, a condition that affects 8% of the national population. In the city of Zamora several cases have been determined, as is the case of the AM family, who live in a rural area of the canton, made up of six people, five minors and an adult who is the mother and head of the household ; the family lives in a house built of wood and zinc roof, deteriorated, of a single environment, with little physical space and without the basic services for a decent life. They survive with 80 dollars a month that they get from the Human Development Bond-BDH and what the mother of the household earns by washing other people's clothes; children have difficulties in education due to lack of financial resources for educational materials; In addition, due to poor educational preparation, the mother does not know how to guide her children in school tasks. The health problems are notorious for the malnutrition of children and the different transient diseases suffered by the mother of the A.M. family, this is exacerbated by the lack of access to free health services provided by the Ministry of Public Health, M.S.P. Looking for solutions to the problems with the AM family, a proposal has been proposed based on three specific objectives, which will allow linking the family with the programs and services that the State has in favor of people in extreme poverty, as well as educational processes and training to the mother of the family in some technical branch, which can be of help to generate income and improve their living conditions for their family. The proposal requires a professional intervention process planned with the family, internal coordination efforts in the executing institution and levels of coordination for inter-institutional linkage.
