As a result, based on the interviewees' perception, they identified that the desire to undertake and improve the family's quality of life makes the sought result optimized and encourages the search for all other knowledge involved in SDG-4, the search for innovation , the search for adequate training, the search for means through credits and the search for sustainable development.
