TikTok and Maluma have a new alliance

The Chinese short video platform TikTok announced a million dollar donation to the NGO El Arte de los Sueños, founded in 2017 by the Colombian artist Maluma and her sister Manuela, to contribute to the artistic education of children and young people disadvantaged with the opportunities of life.

The donation amount is USD$50,000, which will be used to continue advancing the NGO’s mission, which is to support urban culture and other forms of expression, such as compose and perform music, sing, produce, dance and paint.

“We have been working in our foundation for several years and we have given each child the attention and support they require. We have helped many to get off drugs, leave the streets and encourage them to fight for their dreams, that is our greatest reward”, Maluma told about the work of the Foundation in Antioquia during an internal TikTok event as part of the celebration of Latinx Heritage Month in 2021.

Juan Camilo Bolivar, head of contracts for TikTok, explains that the idea was born from the “renaissance through art, culture and creativity” that exists in Medellín.

Maluma’s NGO had a lot of participation during the COVID-19 pandemic

In the middle of the pandemicThe Art of Dreams provided a 12-month training program for at-risk youth that conducted live and virtual group workshops on topics ranging from self care until the emotional management, motivation, decision making and empowerment.

“We are excited to help this foundation, which shares one of our core values, building a better future through the free expression of ideas. In Colombia, there is a cultural revolution that is fueled by hope and perseverance that TikTok recognizes and supports”, Bolivar said.

Since 2017, The Art of Dreams has worked with thousands of young people in Colombia, with whom it has accompanied more than 3,000 individual psychology sessions, more than 500 group sessions and more than 7,000 hours of training.
