Camaquito
In addition to regular storms and the damage and destruction they inflict in Cuba, the Cuban people are often faced with economic hardship, high rates of unemployment and social infrastructure which is not fit for purpose.
Camaquito aims to fill the gap left by insufficient infrastructure through projects that directly support the communities of Camagüey, the third biggest city in Cuba.
In addition to its work renovating and maintaining schools, Camaquito also uses sport as a tool to nurture healthy development among children and young people.
One of the key programmes, “Fútbol en Los Barrios” (football in the neighbourhoods), provides access to football training and games by converting unused plots of land into football pitches and training professional coaches within the community.
