In order to reduce these numbers in Entreculturas we worked by the education and we fought by social justice. Entreculturas is a nongovernmental organization, promoted by the Company of Jesus, who defends the access to the education of most underprivileged, like means of change of articles of incorporation, justice and dialogue between cultures. We acted in favor of the cultural and human development through the Federation the International of Faith and Joy , of which we are members. Years ago we bet by the social promotion of the most excluded from the world.
