More about We own our future
The children/youngsters we work with are living in a context of social exclusion due to their situation of poverty, dysfunctional families and a district where violence reins, unemployment, drug dealers, abuses and truancy. And in that context they are the most vulnerable, having serious problems to communicate and understand the needed attitudes to develop and create a better future.
Through a very deep methodology we’ve created participants develop life skills needed to get in control of their present and create a future. The sport program brings them support, self-esteem and confidence so they can set higher goals for themselves. Participants not only receive spors training, but leadership and life skills that allows them to become young coaches and role models for the youngest generations.
