During the past year we have worked with more than 150 children and young people through surfing, muaythai and street football. We believe that sport has a lot of potential and we see every day how it helps us to create a more equitable society.
Thanks to your support this year we have not only benefited a good number of children at social risk, we have also managed to generate employment for 12 young people in the community, who after being trained by our organization, are now mentors of the most children, allowing our methodology to "close the circle".
With the surftherapy project we are working with 35 children from two different communities, all with a lot of potential but also exposed to different adverse factors for their development (violence, crime, drugs, etc.). In total we have a 38% female participation, and we are always looking to increase this figure. The program has been working in the best way, and will continue for another 7 months in 2020.
By 2020 we will continue to use the power of sport to create a positive impact on the lives of children and young people. We invite you to continue collaborating with our work and contact us whenever you want to info@altoperu.org
Thank you very much
