Centro Particular de Terapia para Niños en Memoria de Mauricio Inocencio Diaz-Leos

The Centro Particular Para Niños en Memoria de Mauricio Inocencio Diaz-Leos is situated at Josefa Ortiz, Privada 103, in the heart of San Luis de la Paz, GTO. Nestled in the northeastern region of the state of Guanajuato, Mexico, this town, founded on August 25, 1552, boasts a population of just over 50,000 residents and is recognized as the ancestral home of the indigenous Chichimeca Nation. The families supported by the Centro face significant economic challenges, living in conditions of extreme poverty without access to personal vehicles. Notably, all the children served by the Centro rely on wheelchairs for transportation to their physical therapy sessions.

Despite these challenges, the Centro is conveniently located within walking distance to various churches and the town's bustling marketplace. However, the issue of accessibility becomes pronounced in the face of the town's topography. San Luis de la Paz features a landscape marked by cobblestone streets, unstable surfaces, and narrow sidewalks, posing substantial obstacles for those dependent on wheelchairs. Moreover, the public transportation system lacks wheelchair accessibility, adding an additional layer of difficulty for individuals with mobility challenges. Addressing these accessibility limitations is crucial for enhancing the quality of life for those served by the Centro, ensuring inclusivity and equal opportunities for all.
