El Poder del Deporte Argentina

Argentina is a country in South America known for its diverse landscapes, vibrant culture, and deep passion for football. However, Argentina also faces significant challenges, particularly in terms of poverty. According to World Bank data, approximately 42% of the population was living below the poverty line in 2020. Buenos Aires, despite its charm, has numerous disadvantaged neighborhoods grappling with serious issues related to poverty, including crime, drug abuse, and violence.

Poverty has far-reaching consequences for the health and well-being of the population. Those living in poverty often have limited access to healthcare and quality education. Their living environments are typically less safe, with restricted access to basic amenities such as clean water and sanitation. Several factors contribute to the high levels of poverty in Argentina, with economic instability being one of the most significant. Over the past decades, Argentina has faced periods of severe inflation, debt crises.

Our charity has witnessed these challenges firsthand, with an increasing number of children and young people participating in our programs. This situation highlights the urgent need for additional support.

 

Our colleagues in Argentina are deeply involved in local projects that use sports as a tool to improve the lives of these children. They create safe spaces where young people can engage in sports and enjoy themselves. Beyond physical activity, these sports programs also help the children develop essential skills such as teamwork, decision-making, leadership, and communication. More than 2,000 children participate in these impactful projects each year and we have the ambition to grow to 7000. We are working in the areas of barracas and la Matanza.
