More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
The beneficiaries are 35 chidlren from 7 to 13 years old of Rosario, Argentina, living in poverty conditions and at risk situation. In Argentina there are 6 millions children living in this situation. These children have many basic needs unsatisfied and therefore they become socially excluded. The Murga gives them the chance to 'be part' again and help their selfconfidence, staying away from criminality and streets.

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
When children see things from other perspective, they realize how much they can achieve and start dreaming. After the first performance in public ever, the children realized they could reach any goal if they would keep working together.
Project Message
Murga's are urban and popular groups that have a lot to do with local culture and communities, used as a way to address their issues. If all of us we'd be part of a Murga, we would change the world.
- Mabel Vega, Murga teacher
