The number of soup kitchens in Argentina are on the rise with more and more people depending on them to eat at least one square meal a day
Soup kitchens were extremely common in Argentina in the early 2000s. As the country’s economy started to improve during the first decade and a half of the century, the kitchens didn’t disappear, but they became much less common.
It is a situation she shares with eight percent of Argentinians, among them many of her neighbours in the working class Barrio Comercial neighbourhood in the city of Cordoba. Yamila’s husband has a disability pension of $124.3 , she also receives some help from the provincial state with $20 and the universal assignation per child, which for her two children sums up to $124.3 . Currently, for a typical family like Yamila’s, you have to earn $600 per month to stay above the poverty line.
Six months ago the two women, along with some other mothers from the neighbourhood decided to start feeding the children, their own and their neighbours’, a glass of milk, or tea and something to eat in the afternoons. This allows their parents to skip one meal, and still provide two meals for their children. The problem is during the weekends and holidays.
Yamila, Natalia and Sandra all live in the same block, in what used to be a thriving working class neighbourhood until not so long ago.
