EL QUE QUIERE PUEDE (WHEN THERE´S WILL THERE´S A WAY)

A few surfboards were enough to start this journey about 15 years ago. Diego Villarán´s idea was simple, but revolutionary: teach surfing to the children of alto Perú community and keep them away from crime. What started as an activity became a proyect which resulted in a team and then a family.

Cultural festivals, redesigning public spaces, a high-performance center, community development, consulting services and the use of sport to promote mental health are some of the things we do today thanks to a miltidisciplinary team commited to a common purpose

We believe that the world would be a better place if more people recognize the power they have to change their lives and their community.
