Fundación Jeison Aristizabal: Asodisvalle
Cali, Colombia
Maestro Cares Foundation (MCF) joined forces with El Arte de los Sueños, the foundation of Latino music icon Maluma, and Fundación Tecnoglass, to expand the campus of Fundación Jeison Aristizabal: Asodisvalle in Cali, Colombia.
Together, we funded the construction of a physiotherapy rehabilitation center. The new facility has supported over 1,000 economically disadvantaged children with physical or cognitive disabilities by providing specialized treatment for free. The third floor of the existing education building was renovated to include an expanded kitchen and dining area, more classrooms, and a modern computer lab.
After the completion of this project, MCF again collaborated with El Arte de los Sueños in 2023 to build the first university in Latin America for people with disabilities on the Asodisvalle campus.
