Opis organizacije

Obra Social Marista de Alcantarilla had its germ in 2005, when three Marist brothers and a layman arrived in Alcantarilla (Murcia) to start an educational mission with people in social exclusion in El Campico. Already in 2009 a more direct mission began in the Barrio San José Obrero where the Marist Community began to carry out its own social work, creating Obra Social Marista de Alcantarilla.

The beginnings focused on a toy library and a generic intervention with boys and girls between 16 and 29 years old, mainly from the gypsy ethnic group. From there, the proposals for young people in the neighborhood have evolved, focusing the work on developing itineraries for socio-labor insertion. Proposing different offers of suitable training and employment programs to gain access to a work activity.
