The national system of the Office on Integral Family Development (DIF) is a social assistance branch of the government, formed in 1964, responsible for addressing, coordinating and planning for needs within the community.

Among the various projects of DIF here in Puerto Peñasco, they have been working hard to establish a hemodialysis unit in town as currently people have to travel to get these services. They also run the Amores de Peñasco Children’s home in town, a Rehabilitation therapy unit, and numerous other projects that impact community members of all ages throughout Puerto Peñasco: school breakfasts and lunches, Senior services, community development, educational training, and much more!
