Fundación Mapfre visited the Foundation's schools in the Dominican Republic
The delegation led by Elena de Borbón and Elvira Vega visited one of the project locations it has been supporting since 2014.
The Real Madrid Foundation received an institutional visit from Fundación Mapfre in the Dominican Republic, where they were able to witness firsthand the educational and social impact of the social sports schools jointly promoted by both entities in the country. The delegation from Fundación Mapfre was led by its general director, Elvira Vega, and also included the presence of the director of Projects, Elena de Borbón. During the event, participants shared their experiences and testimonies, explaining how sports and the support they received have allowed them to grow, acquire values, and access new opportunities.
The social sports schools of the Real Madrid Foundation in the Dominican Republic began their activities in 2012 and are developed at locations such as the Plaza Educativa Don Bosco and the Hogar Escuela Santo Domingo Savio, in collaboration with Misiones Salesianas and the Salesian Foundation Don Bosco, with funding from Fundación Mapfre since 2014.
Through the methodology of the Real Madrid Foundation, sports become an educational tool that conveys values such as respect, teamwork, effort, equality, and solidarity. In addition to sports practice, the program offers safe environments, educational support, psychological care, family follow-up, and medical evaluations.
A long-standing partnership
The collaboration between the Real Madrid Foundation and Fundación Mapfre began in 2010. Currently, both entities jointly develop 18 projects in seven countries, benefiting more than 2,500 children, adolescents, and young people, as well as their families and communities.
