Servicio Social Agustiniano
(Augustinian Social Service)

Servicio Social Agustiniano (SSA) was established in 2004 by the Order of St. Augustine and is a response to a specific need of families of Balvanera (Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina) for a physical space for children to learn and play. Our ongoing challenge over the years is that children learn about other life choices different from those in which they live, they know they can move forward and change things through work, effort and creativity. We provide educational alternatives, leisure, sports and arts; we give them space and accompaniment through young professionals specialized in different disciplines. We perform high quality work, combining dedication and warmth toward the other.
