Moreno is located in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires and has a population of over 500,000 inhabitants. It has the highest homicide rates in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. Moreno is also the district most affected by narcotics and with the highest occurrence of femicides. The members of the population that suffer the most are children and adolescents. 65,000 people in Moreno – equivalent to 13% of inhabitants – have at least one type of disability. Living in such a hostile environment, where they face social, cultural and attitudinal barriers, severely limits these members of the population in their basic de- velopment and means that they are unable to exercise their rights. This restricts their access to education, medical care, employment, cultural and sports activities. Granja Andar created its programmes with the goal of changing the lives of people with disa- bilities living in these challenging circumstances.
