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.
Each of the corporate contribution programs with Formula Smiles is an excellent Social Responsibility option that will allow you to join other charitable forces in order to provide growth and sustainability for the Foundation’s various projects.
