We are a non profit organization called the El Desafio based in The Netherlands and Argentina, kicking poverty's a.. by empowering the youthMISSIONTo create an inclusive society with equal development opportunities that fights the root causes of poverty and promotes civic participation.VISIONThere are many persons and children in our country without the possibility of a life project. Being born in a context of extreme poverty, malnutrition, health problems, lack of education, violence, social exclusion and very few possibilities of insertion in the job market does not provide many opportunities of a decent life. This scenario does not only affect those living this situation -even though they are the first and most serious victims- but they also afflict society as a whole. Socially disintegrated, a country does not have many opportunities for progress.We understand that in order to achieve a true impact our actions must be planned for the long term and framed in an integral vision in which all these factors are considered. We do not offer merely individual aid, we work together with the families, the community and society in general to create programs that promote development. Participants of our programs, children and the community are not mere receptors of services, they are agents of social change.
