Ongoing Projects
Fundación Espartanos:
A second chance to transform women’s lives
@fundacionespartanos
Fundación Espartanos believes in second chances. Founded in 2009 at the San Martín Penitentiary Complex in Buenos Aires, the organisation is dedicated to transforming the lives of people in prison by equipping them with the tools they need to successfully reintegrate into society. Through their Modelo Espartano, they combine sport (particularly rugby), education, and job-readiness programmes to break the cycle of incarceration —dramatically reducing recidivism among programme participants as a result, and helping them rebuild lives from the inside out. Currently 500 people in prison benefit from their model, while 140 have been able to secure jobs after their release.
Now, Fundación Espartanos is expanding its impact through a new initiative supporting 50 incarcerated women aged 18 to 50, most of whom have around two years remaining on their sentences. This initiative offers professional training in hairdressing and baking, along with soft skills development to foster social inclusion and empower them toward financial independence and a stable future. Many of these women are mothers, and their greatest hope is to reunite with their children and rebuild their lives with dignity, purpose, and pride.
Asociación Civil Soles:
Caring for children with cancer and their families
@soles.ong
Based in Córdoba, Asociación Civil Soles works to provide comprehensive support to children and adolescents undergoing cancer treatment, as well as to their families. Each year, their programme reaches around 130 children and their families, ensuring they receive housing, nutritional, and emotional support throughout the treatment journey. Working closely with local public health hubs Hospital Infantil and Hospital Santísima Trinidad, the organisation offers a compassionate safety net that helps families navigate the challenges of serious illness.
The programme manages Casa de Soles, where each year they offer temporary accommodation to around 65 families who travel from other parts of the province for their child’s treatment. In addition, 30 families receive monthly food packages to ease the financial burden of illness, while 20 families benefit from improved housing conditions to support a safer recovery environment. Through these vital services, Asociación Civil Soles plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life for young patients —providing not only practical help but also stability and a sense of community in the face of adversity.
