The programme, organised through the 'La Caixa' Obra Social initiative, is scheduled to start next year in Extremadura. Its work, focused on combating child poverty , will initially begin in the city of Badajoz. "We will help them to do their homework, to be able to have an afternoon snack and access to basic food, and we will also monitor their studies", explains the General Director of the 'La Caixa' Foundation in Mérida, Jaume Giró.
