In the state of Guanajuato, we have seen great progress in terms of inclusion of both the elderly and people with disabilities, however from an analysis and optimization of the work of the Directorate of Social Inclusion, we detected an exclusivity of attention to the companions of our users, which is why it opens the possibility of forming a project where people accompanying our users can be trained and become caregivers, in DIF Irapuato workshops are implemented by trained and professional staff with which the institution has. At the end of the course, we deliver a training certificate.
DIF takes care of you, takes care of us all
