Foundation to help children in rural Colombia

Hola! Hello!

Hola me llamo Zoe - estoy terminando el colegio y pronto voy a comenzar la Universidad. Esta iniciativa intenta ayudar a muchos pequeños que estan empezando su primaria en Colombia y que no tienen recursos. Pienso que la educación es la llave para un futuro mejor. Mi Mamá nació en Colombia, y tuvo que enfrentar muchos obstaculos, esto me ha inspirado a comenzar este proyecto. Espero continuar y crecer este proyecto comunitario.

Hi, my name is Zoe – I am finishing high school and soon will start college. This initiative is to assist many little ones that are just starting their elementary education in Colombia, and that have no resources. I think that education is the key for a better future. My Mother was born in Colombia and had many challenges, and that has inspired me to start this project. I hope to continue and grow this community project.

Thank you to Jeffer, Carlos Daniel, Bladimir, Jostin y Yennifer for this drawing of Taitá!!

Many thanks to all of those who contributed to the Travesia Navideña. I will be posting more pictures of the celebration soon!!

Luz Elena is the owner of Brío Colombia and our partner in Antioquia.

We joined the Traditional Holiday "Travesia Rural" and were able to send some contributions to purchase presents for the children in some of these communities. Thank you Luz for organizing this event with other partners.

Boots and Crocs!!!

We have sent contributions to purchase rain boots for the students of the "Escuela de Taita and pegadó - La Caldasia". These are the students, and their teacher, and I wanted to thank them for sending us the drawing of their school and some pictures. Luz explained that the long journeys that these children walk to reach the schools include crossing rivers, streams, and roads in poor conditions. That is why they need to replace their boots frequently. Boots and lanterns donations are welcome throughout the year!!

These schools need a new roof!

There are two schools is located in the "Valle de Aburra" - one is Taitá and the other is Pegadó in the same community. We helped with funds to repair the roof for both of them. Luz, just came back from bringing the materials and these are some of the pictures. Thank you Luz and we are very happy for the students and the teacher - the weather can be challenging and who can learn like that!!!

Partnering with others

We reached out to the Project My Bello Oriente in Medellin, Colombia, worked with the community leader.

The Partnership with Luz of Brio Colombia allowed us to provide several donations. We are very happy to have helped with the kitchen supplies, the water hoses, roof materials, boots, crayons, and dinnerware! Thank you all for these amazing pictures, messages and lovely letters. Greetings from Kentucky!

La Escuelitas de Taitá & Pegadó

We are working with Luz Vanegas Luna, to facilitate projects for a few schools like the Taita - La Caldasia, located in Urrao, a rural community in Antioquia, Colombia. We sent a contribution to purchase the roof (part of it) for the Pegadó school, and will continue helping with boots, cookware, rain ponchos, dinnerware, and many other things that they need. There is no phone, internet or computers here!

Do you want to be part of the initiative?
