Medellín, Colombia
Maestro Cares Foundation partnered with the Ana Gabriel Fundación, Fundación Tecnoglass, and Vibra En Alta, to fund the construction of a 5-story community center: Centro de Servicios Integrales. This is the new headquarters of the non-profit Corporación Hogar, which is based in J Balvin’s hometown of Medellín, Colombia.
Over 500 at-risk children and teens, plus the community at large, have access to the center’s educational programs, music lessons, vocational training, and therapy. The visionary new space is designed to make its services truly “Integrales,” or comprehensive. It features classrooms, a music studio, a “ludoteca,” or toy lending library, and a lab for innovation, technology, and the arts.
Corporación Hogar calls the community center, “Un Lugar Para Cumplir Sueños,” which means “a place to make dreams come true.” Their goal is to establish a dynamic space that addresses immediate needs while fostering long-term growth and empowerment
