Guantanamo.- More than 1,240 locals from Guantanamo – including 150 mothers- residing in vulnerable communities and that were recently unemployed have gained access to new jobs this year.
The beneficiaries are mainly from the capital city of the territory, as well as from the municipalities of Caimanera, Imías and Maisí.
The job offers are mostly in the non-state sector and were created as part of the integral attention that organizations, entities and institutions provide to people and families living in vulnerable conditions.
Guantanamo has identified a total of 112 neighborhoods and communities with this type of social disadvantage, where there are more than 53,000 families and more than 168,540 inhabitants in the ten municipalities of the territory. Baracoa and the provincial capital show the highest incidences.
In this easternmost Cuban province, social assistance has provided services, resources and monetary benefits to more than 900 of these families.
Social assistance and preventive work are the premises of this program that aims at transforming vulnerable neighborhoods and communities, with actions that respond to a humanistic and preventive logic, one of the principles of the Cuban Revolution.
