1. Urban abandonment, the lack of attention or guarantees from public institutions motivated families to move to an institution that, somehow, does.
2. All the families needed some social capital o support network in order to access education in the NGO school.The absence of public services and/or social assistance or even a social capital can be interpreted as a negation of civil freedoms and thus a reduction in the capacity of social and political participation of the family (Sen, 2000; Wacquant, 2014).
3. Moving to an institution that is located away from their own territorial context meant the constitution of a new territory based in the senses and significations created from it.
