Play and psychosocial development
We generate safe coexistence spaces and training activities through art, sports and games, in which girls, boys, adolescents and young people can propose, promote and take part in activities that respond to their interests, and from there work on the objectives of change.
Through these activities, and following a shared methodology, we promote the development of psychosocial skills, so that they can establish positive relationships and make healthy decisions, and grow as people capable of asserting their rights in their community.

Formal education
We provide pedagogical accompaniment, school support and reinforcement activities, so that the participants develop their skills and motivation towards learning, and thus find meaning in continuing their studies and learning what they need to live a fulfilling life.
We work with a model of "young people who train other young people", in which young people from the community are trained and work as educators, and are at the same time pedagogical advisors, and positive references for the girls, boys and adolescents who participate in the program. The program has two projects, aimed at people of different ages.

healthy families
We know that the most important links for people are built in the family, and the way in which we relate to ourselves and to others is learned. To generate sustainable changes in communities, it is necessary to work not only with individuals, but also with families, understanding them as a system. For this reason, in this program we carry out in-depth work with the families of our participants, through a home-based therapeutic intervention methodology, workshops and training, orientation sessions, and different tools that help us promote family environments that enhance the development of all its members.
