The "Close to You" day is part of a set of social programs implemented by PROPEEP to guarantee inclusion, health, and development in vulnerable communities. Initiatives such as "First You", with interventions in schools and community centers, and "The Government With You", which includes street paving, community assemblies, and comprehensive care, are part of this national social welfare strategy.
