Solidarity projects
The Athletic Club Foundation develops two solidarity projects located in Peru, VILLAGOL and ATHLETIC VILLA (specifically for women), in the Villa El Salvador neighbourhood of the city of Lima, in which it has the on-site participation of ADDVES (Sports and Development Association of Villa El Salvador), with which the Sports and Development Association of Barakaldo (DEPYDES) has collaborated since 2006 in carrying out projects focused on human development through sports activities.
Villa El Salvador is a municipality in Lima that is greatly affected by violence, and where young people under 14 years of age have access to firearms in their daily lives. Their membership in street gangs kept them away from school and brought them closer to drugs or to committing acts of common crime such as robbery and assault.
