We started a new educational infrastructure project that will benefit more than 1,000 children and their families every year. 

The project is carried out within the framework of the public-private alliance managed by the Pies Descalzos Foundation, with the participation of: The District Mayor's Office of Barranquilla, La Caixa Banking Foundation, Barcelona Football Club Foundation, LCI Education Foundation and the Secretary of Education of Barranquilla.

Likewise, the Nuevo Bosque school will benefit the 53,419 inhabitants, providing a new academic and community space that will offer sustainable development tools for the community.

To develop this process, the Mayor's Office of Barranquilla managed the acquisition of 27 plots of land with a total area of 6073.24 m2.
