Challenge

Many children in Colombia grow up without the safety, care, or family support they need after experiencing abuse, neglect, abandonment, or other violations of their rights. Without sustained guidance, education, and opportunities, they face a high risk of repeating cycles of poverty, exclusion, and violence. What they need is not only protection, but the possibility to build a path toward autonomy, confidence, and a future they can shape for themselves.

Solution

Superarse provides a safe home, education, emotional support, and loving care for 50 children and teenagers. Through psychosocial support, Montessori-inspired education, sports, arts, and life-skills development, we help them heal and prepare for independent futures. We also support more than 80 graduates with education, employment, and entrepreneurship opportunities as they continue building the lives they choose.

Long-Term Impact

Every child deserves the opportunity to define their future, not be defined by their past. Through education, psychosocial care, life-skills development, and guidance for employment and entrepreneurship, Superarse equips children to become confident, independent adults. Our long-term vision is to break cycles of poverty and exclusion by helping them become the first professionals, entrepreneurs, and changemakers in their families and communities.
