The Real Madrid Foundation renews its partnership with the Mapfre Foundation
Florentino Pérez and Antonio Huertas signed the agreement to develop social sports projects in Latin America and the USA.
President of the Real Madrid Foundation, Florentino Pérez, along with the Mapfre Foundation's President, Antonio Huertas, signed the renewal of the collaboration agreement to develop social sports projects at Real Madrid City. The event was also attended by Ignacio Baeza, vice-president of the Mapfre Foundation, and the Foundation's project director Infanta Elena, who recently visited the social sports schools in the USA and Brazil.
The alliance between the two organisations, now in its 13th season, has helped over 20,000 children and teenagers across a dozen countries since its launch in 2010. The new agreement ensures the sustainability of these projects, which provide assistance to more than 1,900 children each season who are at risk of exclusion and who take part in social sports schools run by the Real Madrid Foundation in Brazil, the USA, El Salvador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and the Dominican Republic.
Education in values
The central objective of this project is to help improve the living conditions of children living in deprived areas and in vulnerable socio-economic and family situations by means of education in values through sport.
Social sports schools
The Real Madrid Foundation's schools, which are supported by the Mapfre Foundation, are part of comprehensive child care projects that are carried out in collaboration with leading social and educational institutions in each country. The children are taught values through the practice of football and basketball, they receive extra tutoring or nutritional supplements and are provided with health services or psychosocial care, according to their needs.
Each project is executed on the ground by different entities such as Salesian Missions in Brazil and the Dominican Republic; the Webster and Lawrence School District in Massachusetts United States; Cesal in Paraguay and Peru; and the Amigos del Real Madrid foundations in El Salvador and Panama.
