Hospiten Lanzarote joins as a collaborator in the Zapatillas Solidarias campaign, launched by the Cabildo de Lanzarote and with the collaboration of the Hermanos Martínez Foundation. This campaign has been consolidated in its fifth edition as a recycling and intercommunity cooperation project to unite the population of the island with the most disadvantaged children and young people in Equatorial Guinea who participate in the basketball and soccer campus in the City of Malabo and Bata.
In this framework, the Hospiten Group will collaborate in the collection of used sports shoes, but in good condition, to later allocate them to these most disadvantaged young people from these towns in Equatorial Guinea who participate in these campuses.
Thanks to this cooperation on the island, in 2017 a total of 1,596 young people from Equatorial Guinea at risk of social exclusion benefited from the action and were able to use suitable footwear in their sports practice.
The organizers of the initiative recall that donated shoes can be delivered until March 26 at more than 35 collection points distributed throughout the island of Lanzarote, as well as at Hospiten Lanzarote, in educational centers, sports centers and municipal sports centers.
Within the framework of its Corporate Social Responsibility policy, Hospiten wanted to be present in this new edition of the campaign to promote the inclusion of less favored groups and, in turn, consolidate its support for sports and its relationship with a healthy life.
Hospiten Group is an international healthcare network committed to providing a service of the highest quality, with almost 50 years of experience, which has twenty private medical-hospital centers in Spain, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Jamaica and Panama, and more than one hundred outpatient medical centers, owned and associated under the Clinic Assist brand. It is chaired by Dr. Pedro Luis Cobiella and annually serves more than 1,700,000 patients from all over the world, and has a staff of more than 5,000 people.
