More than 40 years of political violence and civil war have displaced hundreds of thousands of families in Colombia, making the country home to the world's second largest displaced population.
Through partnerships with the Colombian and U.S. governments, and continuing support from concerned individuals around the world, CHF has provided direct assistance to over 106,000 families since 2001, providing food, shelter and income-generating opportunities to help them not only cope but thrive in their new environments.
A brief look at some of the services provided to date:
> 49,200 humanitarian kits have been delivered to families > 55,000 displaced families have received psychosocial support
> 11,930 school kits have been distributed for children
> 4,446 families have received assistance to improve their shelters or housing
> 46 classrooms and/or community facilities.
