    Community development includes various areas of approach such as health, sports, among others, whichseek to improve the living conditions of individuals or groups in a specific context. In this sense, some institutionsgenerate interventions through strategies such as sports or nutritional care. In view of this, the objective of this researchwas to analyze the influence of interventions carried out by two non-governmental organizations on the psychologicalwell-being and social capital of two populations living in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas in Colombia. Theresearch was of a quantitative transversal explanatory type, carried out with 257 participants of the entitiesthat implement social interventions. Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale and Cardozo and Cortés’ Social CapitalMeasurement Scale were applied. The results showed that communities perceive greater identification with foodbasedinterventions; in contrast with those that base their actions on the implementation of long-term strategiesbased on sports. This raises the question of the effect of interventions that meet basic needs such as food, overother types of interventions that focus on community and personal strengthening.

    Community development contemplates various areas of approach such as culture, health, sports, food, in order to contribute directly and progressively to the improvement of living conditions in a specific sector or context. In this sense, some institutions generate interventions through various strategies such as sports or nutritional care. Based on this, the objective of this research is to analyze the influence of the interventions carried out by two non-governmental organizations on the psychological well-being and social capital of two populations living in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas in Colombia. The results showed that the communities perceive greater identification with the interventions based on food; in contrast to those that base their actions on the implementation of long-term strategies based on sports for personal and community strengthening.
