Education+safe accommodation for 250 rural girls

Our ICSEF students who live in the El Rocio Accommodation Center feel very flattered by the recognition that the University received: Better to know Pro (evaluation carried out by the Colombian state to measure the quality of education at a University) at the national level. As technological institutions, ICSEF was the University that rose the most in the national ranking.

Another good news that allows us to make more of these young women's dreams come true: The loan agreement for the property where the El Rocio accommodation operates maintains its loan status; It is excellent news that the renovation is still in force as long as the owner recognizes the good maintenance we give it. This investment we make in the maintenance of the property is an additional effort, this is part of the expenses that must be met.

Every young person who lives in this house is a young woman who we protect from the poverty traps that a woman who neither studies nor works can fall into. Of every 10 young “ninis” (neither studying nor working) in Colombia, 7 are women.

Our social cause empowers women!!!  and turns them into a woman capable of transforming her family and her environment.

 Thank you very much for your support

Gratitude towards donors and gratification for donating

Young women from the rural sector, belonging to a vulnerable population, with few resources, few possibilities of getting ahead and having professional training, are our beneficiaries. Our effort is intense but rewarding; Not only do we give them food and lodging but we also get them university scholarships.

It is a safe home, where the warmth of home is palpable and good habits are reinforced for a friendly, fraternal coexistence; This is how we manage to increase self-esteem as well as greater socio-emotional skills in these young women. The accommodation house is located 10 minutes walk from the university; Every day we see happy faces, they are responsible people who show their commitment and also their gratitude towards the donors and people who care for them. 

It is interesting to emphasize that the monthly income of a rural family is USD 150-200. A family in these economic conditions could never, NEVER  send a child to university and pay for a place to live.

Scholarships + accommodation: a big challenge but worth it, very very REWARDING!!! There are more women and families who are freed from the traps of poverty thanks to you, our DEAR DONORS!!!! It is very rewarding for those who donate.

Learn about the microproject that we will publish soon where you can get to know 2-3 of our students and donate specifically for them.
