Decent housing for families in Uraba - Colombia

La Cristalina breathes a new air, the community shines with its own light, families have smiles on their faces, their souls feel peace, confidence and hope.

Real changes in their lives that mark their present and weave a future where the word HAPPINESS is the great protagonist.

La Cristalina will never forget that in 2023 12 of their families started a new life.

Our purpose, in addition to generating housing solutions, has been to provide 360° accompaniment to the entire community through activities such as:

• Strengthening the sense of belonging and awareness of the potential, limitations and opportunities of the community and its territory and how assertive leadership can enhance their environment.
• Awareness generation for the attendance and permanence in the educational system and delivery of school kits.
• Capacity building through workshops for the improvement of family and community relationships based on respect and dialogue.
• Conduction of training workshops on values, resilience and leadership as the articulating axes for community building.
• Promotion of good treatment as an articulating axis in healthy coexistence and in the construction of healthy lifestyles.
• Training of leaders to replicate the knowledge acquired and ensure a short, medium and long term impact.
• Design and implementation of projects, resource management and regenerative methodologies to improve new forms of community and environmental relations.
• Planting of trees native to the region to promote environmental care.

¡We continue weaving dreams!

Working together to improve the quality of life of more families in Colombia

The dream of 17 families of having a decent home to live in is becoming a reality thanks to the support received through the GlobalGiving platform, which has made it possible for us to have already turned over 5 homes to families in San Juan and achieved an 85% of the works of the other 12 homes in the Village of San Juan de Uraba - Siete Vueltas and la Cristalina. 

Additionally, we have successfully provided comprehensive family support, training in personal development and, strengthening of the culture of the inhabitants of both villages to help further nourish their roots and improve their social fabric.

We thank you for allowing us to continue transforming the lives of many more families living in extreme poverty in Urabá, Antioquia - Colombia.

Happy Holidays!
