More about Well-being through sports project
Since 2008, we promote sports (Surf and Muaythai) for children and youth from Alto Peru, a marginal community characterized by the absence of authorities, organized crime, violence and drug use and traffic. The main leaders and referents of the community are felons, gang members or drug dealers.
Through Surf and Muaythai we promote the development of physical, emotional and social skills in children and youth. Through our work using sports, new referents have arisen.
Since 2017 we complement our work with educational interventions such as student´s performance monitoring and school reinsertion programs.
