No one should do this alone

We are families united for social inclusion. We support anyone with a child, sibling or relative with a disability at no cost, and we work alongside schools so that every child has a place.

FUPIS is a group of families in Junín.

We help families who have a person with a disability.

We want everyone to be able to go to school and learn.

Write to us. Our help is free.

How we support you

Three lines of work, one idea: inclusion should not depend on how lucky a family gets.

  • Guidance for families

    We listen to your situation and explain, in plain words, what rights you have and what the next steps are. Free, and without the run-around.

  • Schools and teachers

    We support school teams with concrete tools so the classroom makes room for every student, with and without disabilities.

  • Community and awareness

    Meetings, campaigns and joint action with the sports club, the city council and other organisations, so inclusion is lived every day.

Let us make inclusion happen every single day: so that every person with a disability can get a quality education.

Who we are

Families who organised to change their schools

FUPIS grew out of families in Junín who shared one question: how to make sure their sons and daughters with disabilities had a real place at school and in the community.

For more than ten years we have worked for the right to an inclusive, quality education for everyone. We do it with families, with teachers, with the sports club and with the city council.

What we sustain, we sustain together.

We are families from Junín.

We started more than 10 years ago.

We want people with disabilities to go to school with everyone else.

We work with the schools and with the city.

How to help

Every contribution turns into hours of support, materials and gatherings. You can also help without money.

Worth keeping at hand

What the law says today, and what the numbers say

Two references we use when supporting families. These are not our own reports: every fact links to its original source so you can read it in full.

  • Argentina

    The national disability emergency is still in force

    Law 27,793 declared a disability emergency across Argentina until 31 December 2026, extendable by one more year. It requires the State to take measures guaranteeing an adequate standard of living, health, rehabilitation, education, social protection and work for people with disabilities. Decree 84/2026 set out how it is applied.

    It is the legal ground a family can point to when a service or a school support is denied.

  • Latin America

    One in five students with a disability attends a special school

    UNESCO’s SIRIED 2024 study counted 2.3 million students with disabilities across the region. Fewer than half of mainstream schools enrol this group, and more than a third of these students leave before finishing secondary school. 76 % complete primary school, against 99 % of students without disabilities; for secondary school it is 61 % against 82 %.

    It puts numbers to what families already know: mainstream schools still do not make room for everyone. That is the work we do.
