A sweet refugefor familieswho need it most
For more than 10 years we have walked alongside low-income families in San Cristóbal, one of Bogotá's high-risk districts, with food, education, music and free mental health care.
Six programs.
One community.
Everything we offer is free and open to everyone in the community, without distinction.
Free Psychological Therapy
Help us offer free sessions with a licensed psychologist to people who cannot afford therapy.
Food & Clothing Bank
Groceries, clothing, shoes and household items for low-income families.
School Supplies
School kits and backpacks so no child misses school for lack of supplies.
Christmas Gifts for Children
A joyful, dignified Christmas for children in need.
Music Lessons for Youth
Free music lessons as a positive alternative to social risk.
Family Counseling
Free counseling to strengthen families and homes.
Therapy that no one
should have to pay for
Our psychologist is fully licensed. Every week we see people facing anxiety, grief, depression or family crises who could never afford private therapy. With more support, we can open more hours and bring a second psychologist on board.
From the hills of
south-east Bogotá
We are in San Cristóbal, the 4th district of Bogotá, close to the 20 de Julio neighborhood: a lively, hard-working part of the city at the foot of the eastern hills, where thousands of families live on informal work.
It is also one of the areas of Bogotá with the most social risk. That is why we are here.
Rooted in San Cristóbal, Bogotá
Dulce Refugio Colombia is a non-profit organization based in San Cristóbal, the 4th district of Bogotá, Colombia: a designated high-risk area where many families face poverty, insecurity and few opportunities for work and education.
What began as a small effort funded by our own community has grown into six programs. Now we want to reach many more families.
Every gift reaches
