" "

This week Viaqua made a delivery of toys at the facilities of the Santiago Cruz Roja, with the aim that children of the city, belonging to families at risk of social and economic vulnerability, can enjoy games that allow them to continue developing their abilities and skills The ceremony was attended by the Director of Viaqua, Julio Masid, the manager of Viaqua in Santiago, Ana Tejeiro, the President of the Cruz Roja, Jose Luis Barreiro, and the Coordinator of the Cruz Roja in Santiago, Rocío Ovalle.

Each year, when the first school term ends, the Cruz Roja holds a small farewell party for the girls and boys who participate in their socio-educational support projects to recognize the effort they are making to achieve good academic results. This year, thanks to Viaqua's collaboration, these 38 students who go to the Cruz Roja every week will be able to have an educational toy with which to spend a good mouse with the family or with which to test their skills. This gift will complement the reading book that the entity also gave them.

Toys are the tools with which children acquire knowledge and behaviors that will be part of their development as people. Through the awareness campaign The Educational Toy, Santiago Cruz Roja promotes the pedagogical value and educational importance of the game, understanding it as an element to work with tolerance, diversity, respect and equality. Along these lines, Viaqua decided to collaborate with this differentiating project, not only for the action that is carried out, but for the values ​​that are transmitted in it, delivering educational, cooperative, non-war toys that promote gender equality. The game is a fundamental right that must be promoted as an educational tool in an equal and sustainable environment.

Viaqua continues to go beyond managing a public service, to be a company that brings value to society through its own initiatives and through partnerships. Within the Viaqua Strategic Plan for Sustainable Development (2017-2021), the company is committed to contributing to the scope of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the UN through concrete and measurable actions.
