Cartagena, Bolivar

The best Formula CARTAGENA

We benefit a total of 892 kids

121 - Sports area
564 - Educational area 
207 - Recreational area

Sports that are practiced: Soccer, Kickball, Baseball and Tennis.

We have a presence in 6 different neighborhoods: Loma Fresca, Santa Rita, República de Caribe, Petares, Pablo VI and Paraiso, and providing assistance to the following education institutions: Ana María Velez de Trujillo at Loma Fresca and Pablo VI.

In the specific case of Loma Fresca, it is located in the area surrounding the Cerro de la Popa, in one of Cartagena’s marginal zones. People residing there have a socio-economic level that corresponds to 0 and 1 in a stratification range in which 6 indicates the highest wealth status and 1 the lowest. Loma Fresca has a population of 3,424 people who live in 624 houses, meaning that there is an average of 5 persons per house. There are 1,635 children.

The socio-economic situation of parents and people who take care of the kids is mostly not stable, as they work in the non-formal sector. Most of them have short term jobs during the holiday season, selling different kinds of things on the streets or getting involved in illegal activities such as street violence, theft, selling and distributing drugs, and the like.

This is the story of John Javier Fiquer

My name is John Javier Fiquer and I am 13 years old. I have been coming to the training school of the Foundation for two years now. Here, I have learned good and positive things for my life; before I was spending too much time in the street with my friends, doing nothing; I had a bad temper and I was rude with others.
