The province of Ciego de Ávila continues with the implementation of concrete and correct actions to protect vulnerable people and communities, even in the midst of the complexities that the Cuban economy is going through.

The delivery of comfortable homes to 210 mothers with three or more children, as part of the demographic policy, which seeks, among other objectives, to attend to women with multiple descendants in a situation of social vulnerability, from 2021, stands out among these efforts.

This indicator not only includes the allocation of houses, but also job offers and financial resources to build, rehabilitate, expand or remodel properties for parents or legal guardians with three or more descendants up to 17 years of age.

For this reason, work is being done to bring together social services, the training of caregivers and the incorporation into active working life, according to a report from the Provincial Government of People's Power.

According to data provided to Invasor digital by Orlando Díaz Rodríguez, deputy director of Prevention, Assistance and Social Work at the Provincial Directorate of Labor and Social Security (DPTSS), the amount allocated in 2022 for the protection of vulnerable people amounted to more than 176 052 000 pesos, of which 28 million only for the delivery of resources to families and individuals who cannot be incorporated into employment or have a severe disability.

The distribution of beds, mattresses, clothing, footwear, toilets and induction modules for cooking food stand out, as well as the guarantee of transportation for those who need medical assistance in hospitals, such as those receiving hemodialysis and cancer treatments.

Social Assistance in the territory provided salaries for mothers of children with severe disabilities, some in the modality of salary equivalent to the one earned when they worked and others with exceptional monetary benefits.

Similarly, it includes the remuneration of social assistants at home for a hundred people in need.
