World Project (Bioksaland)
Bioksanland is a natural space dedicated to eco-sustainable development, empowering the Kikaya community in the city of Entebbe.
This project spans more than 10,000 square meters of nature, including over 700 fruit trees and medicinal plants that provide food for the community. In addition, it features a fish farm dedicated to the recovery of endangered species and produced more than 500 liters of hydroalcoholic gel in 2021 from water hyacinth, an invasive plant in Lake Victoria.
Bioksanland also develops emerging projects for biogas production and organic composting as sources of renewable energy. A research and development center under construction hosts international volunteers and young researchers, fostering science and professional training for low-income individuals. This project positively impacts a community of more than 15,000 people.
Wara Wara Schools
The Musaia Senior Secondary School project consists of the construction of a new school building that will include 3 classrooms, a storage room, an office, and its furniture. This new building will make it possible to accommodate students who finish the third year of the Musaia Junior Secondary School, benefiting the 250 current students.
In addition, the project will positively impact all the children and young people of the village, as well as those from neighboring villages and the entire province. The teachers of Musaia and the residents of Dembelia and the Falaba District will also benefit, improving education and opportunities in the region.
Island Mission Uganda (Babys Uganda)
Since January 2019, Bioksan has sponsored the Mount Eagle School on Zinga Island, Uganda, transforming the lives of nearly 200 vulnerable children affected by extreme poverty, 70 of whom have lost their parents (in most cases due to HIV) and therefore live at the school.
Bioksan provides the annual salaries for the teaching staff and has also installed solar panels, making the school the only place with electricity on the island. By providing a safe and educational environment, Bioksan is building a hopeful future for these children and the community.

Bluish Gifts
The Dones Azulado Children's Center, inaugurated in 2021, represents a significant milestone on the island of Tierra Bomba in the city of Cartagena de Indias; it is the only comprehensive early childhood education center on the island.
The project's objective is to provide education and develop the potential of early childhood children through an educational model based on the Reggio Emilia approach, recognized as one of the best models in the world. Currently, the project serves 150 children, and thanks to the contribution from Bioksan, the salaries of teachers caring for 70 children are financed. The project includes training families in respectful parenting.
SOM Foundation
An international cooperation project in the Republic of The Gambia carried out at the Sanyang health center, with the goal of providing medical and surgical care to the local community.
During the visit, cleaning and conditioning activities are performed in the facilities provided by the Sanyang health center. Pediatric consultations are also conducted, addressing acute childhood pathologies, answering questions about childcare, and evaluating children with chronic diseases, psychomotor developmental delays, or growth failure, as well as a treatment room for acute conditions or advanced injuries.
This project provides crucial medical assistance and establishes a model of continued care for future expeditions, with the aim of improving the health and well-being of the Sanyang community in The Gambia.
Surg For All Expedition
Since 2020, we have been working actively with St. Joseph Catholic Hospital in Monrovia and the Juan Ciudad Foundation to alleviate this situation. Providing equipment for performing operations using advanced techniques, training nurses in surgical instrumentation and ward protocols, and training a general practitioner in urological indications have accompanied the successive missions that have been carried out periodically.
In addition to the physical project, we have asked the hospital management to commit to having a urologist on staff permanently. Two possibilities have been offered: assuming the cost of a general practitioner's specialization at a university and, not exclusively, co-financing the cost of hiring a foreign urologist.
The goal is to provide a population of nearly six million people with a point of reference for urological pathologies, improve the health of many patients, and reduce mortality resulting from a lack of medical care.

CPEN SENEGAL
In 2025, with a greater number of resources, it is estimated that the coverage area (border with The Gambia, Kedougou/Bassari Country area) will be expanded, which are areas with more difficult access and less organized healthcare.
This 3rd cooperative project also incorporates educational projects on Diabetes for healthcare personnel in the area (Diouloulou and Kedougou hospitals).
In addition to the Diabetes Project, the Schools Project is being carried out jointly, which seeks to educate/raise awareness about female puberty.
Alacrán Association 1997
In this project, they are dedicated to supporting young people at risk of social exclusion in the Community of Madrid, providing them with education, professional skills, and the promotion of healthy lifestyles through sport.
Sport and education come together in this project to empower young people, providing them with the tools and support necessary to reach their goals and aspirations in life.
BIOKSAN SCHOLARSHIPS
The Bioksan Scholarships finance courses taught by the Community's sports federations, which train young people belonging to the different associations specialized in sports, who work within the scope of "Attention to girls, boys and young people at risk of social exclusion" of the Community from Madrid.
These scholarships are intended to promote the professional training of girls, boys and young people, as part of their personal and professional development, in addition to promoting the associations' projects, guaranteeing their sustainability.
Bioksan has been actively collaborating with these associations since 2018.
