    The objective of this program is to provide inmates and released inmates the necessary tools and basic knowledge to develop a business proposal from their own life plan.  This can be provided to inmates after recovering their freedom or during deprivation, generating tools of life and a business development plan.

    FINANCIAL EDUCATION

    This workshop is given inside prisons by people who have recovered their freedom. Inmates and released inmates  have been trained in financial education through a workshop "Strategy for financial decision-making" with emphasis in entrepreneurship, creation and strengthening of productive units and business. Also, they have attended other workshops and have been given personalized advice.
