Footprints for life
What we do

Since 1997 we have been working to contribute to the access of children and young people in Colombia to quality public education through the following programs:

We develop projects to reduce the educational infrastructure deficit Colombia has, by increasing coverage and access to education with proper spaces for learning.

Educational Infrastructure in Guajira

In order to increase educational coverage in rural areas of Colombia, we are developing educational infrastructure projects in the department of La Guajira.
