About This Cause
Margarita Barrientos Foundation is an organization committed to promoting social well-being and improving the quality of life of the neediest people in the City of Buenos Aires, through a wide range of activities and services aimed at meeting basic needs and promoting integral human development. Los Piletones is a community kitchen that was born in 1996 on the initiative of Margarita Barrientos, a resident of Villa Los Piletones. Margarita and Isidro (her husband) knew very well the needs of their community. Faced with the reality of those who suffered from poverty, they decided to get to work and commit themselves to fighting with all their strength through the creation of a community kitchen that could partially complete the scarcity of all the rights of its people. Thus, day by day, children, mothers, and the elderly came to a very humble house in the village, with a tin roof and a wood-burning stove, to have breakfast, lunch, dinner and to be attended to in many of their needs. In this way, 1500 people were received. However, the dining room was only the beginning of the series of works that today comprise the Margarita Barrientos Foundation. The foundation has grown enormously, currently the activities include a Community Kitchen, health center (with pediatrics, medical clinic, dentistry, gynecology, nursing and community pharmacy), two early childhood centers (more than 200 children from 45 days to 4 years old), day center for the elderly, library, wardrobe, sewing workshop, children's orchestra, bakery and pasta factory, a sports center and a carpentry shop.
