Poverty in Colombia

Children growing up in poverty in Colombia face serious barriers that can limit their opportunities — including unsafe environments, disrupted education, health and nutrition challenges, and few pathways to meaningful work. 

That’s why our approach focuses on helping children stay in school, gain confidence and thrive in safe, supportive spaces — building the skills they need for the future. Through educational support, health and nutrition resources and other programs led by trained local staff, children develop self-assurance, resilience, and a solid foundation to grow into healthy, capable young adults who can shape their own futures.

How child sponsorship works

Kids read books at a community center

What does my child receive?

  • Access to life-changing benefits through our innovative, holistic approach, such as medical and psychological care, empowerment initiatives and education programs — all focused on giving children the support and tools they need to be healthy, stay in school, graduate and create a lasting change in their community. (Our U.S. children are served through the University of Arkansas in Little Rock, called Common Good)
  • Support from our dedicated local staff who are embedded in the community and are committed to helping your child succeed.
  • A personal connection with someone (you!) and the invaluable knowledge that they are special and loved.
  • A chance for a better life, free from poverty.
