Centro Educativo Multifuncional SEC Como Estrategia Contra La Pobreza

Abstract

The thesis “Educational Center to Combat Multidimensional Poverty” aims to design a Multifunctional Community Development Center in Guayaquil, addressing educational, cultural, social, and well-being needs. It emerges as a response to the lack of comprehensive approaches in aid provided to vulnerable populations, which fails to address the true issue of multidimensional poverty. The absence of free higher education centers, cultural activities, and psychosocial support limits opportunities for holistic growth, contributing to the persistence of the current societal violence crisis. The qualitative methodology will employ interviews, questionnaires, and anecdotes to thoroughly explore the experiences of individuals in poverty. This approach will offer a detailed and contextualized understanding, informing the Center’s design based on the actual needs of the population. The project aims not only to design a physical space but also to address multidimensional poverty at its roots, incorporating educational, cultural, and psychosocial aspects to create a real and sustainable impact on the affected community.
