Socio-sporting projects in Angola
The Real Madrid Foundation has run a socio-sporting school in Luena since 2016 alongside Manos Unidas and the Esclavas del Divino Corazón. The school aims to create harmonious living spaces, reduce high conflict levels among young people from families returning from refugee camps of different communities, ethnicities and religions and reduce illiteracy levels and lack of educational motivation.
Therefore, as well as sports sessions, the beneficiaries of the school enjoy extra-curricular classes in reading and IT, receive daily meals and participate in workshops on human rights and talks on issues of health and hygiene. The activities are carried out using the school's sports facilities, including basketball courts and a futsal pitch, built in 2015 thanks to the support of Manos Unidas.
