According to the director of the institution, Gabriel Eguiarte Fruns, more than one hundred children are sheltered every week.
He commented that they have two sub-centers to provide attention to the minors where their well-being is safeguarded and their health is prioritized.
He also said that, compared to last year, up to Thursday morning, the number of minors taken into care by the state authorities was reduced by 95.
The state official also pointed out that the children are in good health and part of the attention is to provide them with adequate medical care and a balanced diet.
