About the Foundation and its Philosophy<\/h2>\n[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][toggles style=”minimal_shadow” accordion=”true” accordion_starting_functionality=”closed” border_radius=”20px”][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”h4″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”What is El Cauce?”][nectar_responsive_text inherited_font_style=”default” font_size_min=”14px” font_size_max=”20px” font_size_desktop=”1.1vw” font_line_height=”1.6″ text_direction=”default”]El Cauce is a community based on a meaningful approach to life, focused on supporting people with disabilities from a holistic perspective of the human being. We are inspired by an anthroposophical vision and principles such as respect, cooperation, and the development of each person’s potential.[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”h4″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”What values inspire El Cauce?”][nectar_responsive_text inherited_font_style=”default” font_size_min=”14px” font_size_max=”20px” font_size_desktop=”1.1vw” font_line_height=”1.6″ text_direction=”default”]El Cauce is a community initiative rooted in the interrelationship between people, the earth, and the cosmos.

We do not use chemicals or pesticides, but rather special preparations that strengthen the life of the soil, plants, and animals. It is work in harmony with the rhythms of nature and human relationships.[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”65″ text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][nectar_responsive_text inherited_font_style=”default” text_color=”#e4a03a” text_direction=”default” max_width=”600″]\n

At present there is no support for independent living for adults with disabilities in Argentina, and we rely on contributions from the residents to cover the costs of living in El Cauce. We strongly hope that economics are not a barrier to participation and we evaluate each case individually.
\nEl Cauce endeavors to be productive and self-sustaining in the long term, with the well-being of the residents and community always the top priority. Our mission is sustained by a solidarity model based on donations and voluntary contributions. Long-term residents will always have a home at El Cauce.
