Mundo Afro aims to foster the acceptance and integration of Afro-Uruguayan culture. The organisation fights against violence and discrimination, works to raise self-esteem in the Afro-Uruguayan population and facilitates exchange between African cultures and organisations worldwide.

Mundo Afro uses football, in particular Fútbol Callejero (Street Football), to promote strategies for peaceful conflict resolution amongst participants and their families. Mundo Afro also offers cultural activities and programmes on topics such as human rights and health. The organisation is currently establishing a national street football network in Uruguay.
