Virreyes Hockey

Project overview

During the past decade, living conditions in deprived urban areas around Buenos Aires have deteriorated. Lack of work, violence, drugs, school drop-out, and crime have damaged family cohesion in the area.

Not only do young people face poverty but they are also forced to struggle through a lack of safety services, health and education, which makes their social inclusion ever more difficult.

The hockey-based project in Virreyes, 27km from Buenos Aires states the primary objective of providing girls and young women a space for integration and personal development through sport.
