This is why we communities integrate to distribute the load in matters such as food, shelter, care when we see ourselves limited by age or illness.

From the first organizations in the State that initially assumed the protection of the community implementing simple mechanisms where individual basic needs were covered and protected. Nevertheless, when the numbers of society increased, it became necessary to anticipate the cost of the attention of these necessities, as well as to look for ways to finance the coverage. Modern developments of social security cannot be left aside, because these developments are the ones that complement the traditional protection, aiding the poor, unemployed and children.
