SSince 2018, A Chance In Life collaborates with local organizations in Colombia Home for girls Juan Pablo I, home for girls Santa Rosa de Lima, and home for boys Fundación Hogar del Niño, are organizations serving for decades to 252 children in the cities of Buenaventura, Cúcuta and Medellín. The children and youth that attend these organizations come from extremely poor families who are unable to cover the basic needs of their children such as nutrition, schooling, clothing and provide protection. Children suffer the consequences of being displaced by violence, human trafficking and unrest across the country.

Our Partner organizations in Colombia offer children and youth with access to an education, as well as workshops in art and athletics. Through these three organizations, the children and young people are offered a safe environment in which they can learn and grow into successful and responsible adults. Children and youth receive quality education, and technical training that provides them with employable skills. As part of their education, our Partners help them develop their full professional potential and respond in empowered and creative ways to the demands of society.

All children and young people returned to the programs after staying home for several months during COVID-19 lockdowns. They participated in a hybrid system utilizing both remote and in-person learning. With the generous support of our donors, we were able to send ten laptops, two printers and install internet routers for our Partners to ensure the children could access remote learning during the school year. In addition, all of our partner programs received emergency food supplies throughout the pandemic.
