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.
What changes
with your support
Many homes in our neighborhood are led by a single parent carrying everything alone. Support at the right time can prevent family breakdown, violence and children dropping out of school.
- Parents raising children alone, without support
- Conflicts that end in violence
- Children who pay the price
- Free family counseling
- Tools to communicate and set healthy limits
- Support over time
