In Comuna 13 of Medellín, a group of women from the Mujeres ParaConstruir program, trained in the SENA "Painting Finishes" module, renovated the façade of the Dame La Mano Foundation, a space that welcomes the most vulnerable families in the area. From preparing the surfaces to applying the paint, these women put into practice what they learned, giving new life to a place that now shines with hope.
This effort not only beautified a key space for the community, but it strengthened the social fabric and empowered these women. Each brush was a step towards their personal growth and proof that, with training and collaboration, it is possible to generate lasting changes.
These women, who once faced vulnerable circumstances, are now agents of change in their communities, and their transformation is just beginning.
With your support, we can continue to strengthen programs like Mujeres ParaConstruir and expand the impact to more women who need an opportunity to get ahead. Your donation can help us continue to provide training, resources, and support so that more women continue to build not only their own futures, but also that of their communities.
Join us on this journey of transformation and hope. Together, we can continue to paint a better tomorrow.
