This initiative combines sports, education, and solidarity to promote coexistence, respect, and teamwork in vulnerable contexts. The project includes a sports event in which children play alongside female and male soccer stars. In addition, a classroom-based pedagogical project is developed to deepen reflection on the values of sports and foster positive school coexistence. In 2026, the initiative seeks to scale its impact by reaching schools in vulnerable contexts in Montevideo and one inland department.

The amount indicated as granted to each program is the one approved by Fundación ReachingU Board of Directors. The funds that each organization receives may differ due to adjustments made to the programs or variations in the exchange rate.
