A Commitment to Education and Health in Medellín and Bogotá

A commitment to education and health in Medellín and Bogotá

In Colombia, Red Deporte has focused its efforts on two key areas: community health and identifying new interventions in Medellín and Bogotá.

Medellín

In Medellín, our collaboration with the Ciudad Don Bosco institution from January to April 2023 has been essential in promoting health among young people in the community. Through talks and workshops, we addressed crucial topics such as:

• Substance abuse prevention

• Early pregnancies

• Mental health

• Violence in neighborhoods

The program included participation from Red Deporte’s healthcare staff, who provided support in medical consultations.

Additionally, in 2024, new projects have been identified with the goal of offering alternatives to vulnerable youth, replacing high-risk environments with educational and preventive spaces. In Medellín, Red Deporte has committed to supporting the Ciudad Don Bosco Sports Club, assisting 550 children and young people from low-income families.

Bogotá

In Bogotá, we support the Juan Bosco Obrero center, which is dedicated to education, health, and sports. In both cases, sports serve as a key tool for promoting social integration, education, and well-being.
