Potencialidades ONG and their "Ludotecas” Program

As part of World Law Group’s WLG | impact initiative, this year Bruchou & Funes de Rioja will focus on supporting Potencialidades ONG, a local nonprofit that provides safe, creative, and nurturing spaces (ludotecas) for children and youth in vulnerable communities across the Buenos Aires metropolitan area.

Through these spaces, Potencialidades promotes emotional and cognitive development by encouraging play, imagination, and human connection—helping children build the foundations for a healthier future. As founder, Andrea Mettler says:

"A child who is loved, who plays, and who is stimulated grows up seeing other possibilities. The ludotecas are an oasis where children are protected from the harshness of the situations they face.”

How we’re getting involved:

Between June and July, our firm will run an internal donation campaign to collect materials that will be used directly in the ludotecas run by Potencialidades.

We will collect:

• Art and school supplies (colored pencils, markers, brushes, paints, scissors, erasers, sharpeners, drawing paper, recycled paper, construction paper, etc.)
• Board games (puzzle games, playing cards, chess, and other age-appropriate games)

All items must be new or gently used and in excellent condition. No cash donations will be accepted, but employees are encouraged to contribute by purchasing and delivering materials directly to our collection points.

This campaign aims to promote social inclusion, creativity, and childhood development in communities that need it most. We look forward to being part of this global movement and sharing the impact of our local action with the WLG community.
