Learning Continues

Throughout 2026, we have continued implementing our Training Program for Women Head of Household, reaffirming our commitment to women heads of household in the community. Our goal is to keep creating spaces for holistic learning in different areas of interest, so each woman can acquire practical tools to support herself, provide for her family, and improve her quality of life.

We started the year with the cooking course, one of the most popular and beloved programs among women in the community. In every session, we see joyful, motivated faces—women who are not only learning a new skill, but also strengthening their confidence and vision for the future.

As a foundation, we hope to continue bringing knowledge, support, and opportunities to every woman who approaches us seeking a chance to grow. Our commitment to women heads of household remains strong, and this journey we are living today is just the beginning of everything we can build together.

To our donors, thank you for believing in this project. With your valuable support, you continue making a real difference in the lives of these women, helping them move closer to their dreams and transform their realities. We invite you to keep sharing this initiative so that more people can join and support this life-changing program.

A new cycle begins

By Daniela Galan | Project Leader

A new cycle begins

At the Restaurando las Familias Foundation, we remain deeply committed to the social transformation of our community and the improvement of the quality of life of those who need it most. We are pleased to share that we have begun a new cycle of entrepreneurship training for women heads of household, an initiative designed to strengthen their skills, economic independence, and leadership.

This program is carried out in collaboration with national and local organizations and institutions, which provide professional and technical support to ensure that each training activity meets official educational standards. At the end of the program, participants will receive a certificate of completion, enabling them to access better job opportunities or start their own businesses.

Through this initiative, we aim to break the cycles of poverty that affect many families in our community, offering women real tools to generate income, strengthen their self-esteem, and build a more stable and dignified future for themselves and their children.

However, to make this dream possible, your support as donors is essential. Thanks to your contributions, we can continue offering these trainings and accompany more women on their journey toward economic independence. Many of them also need financial assistance and seed capital to bring their business ideas to life.

As a Foundation, we continue to work with dedication and commitment—but you, our donors, make it all possible. Every contribution has a direct impact on the life of a woman and her family.

These women count on you. We, as a Foundation, count on you.
Thank you for continuing to be part of this mission that transforms lives and restores hope!

Listening and helping

By Daniela Galan | Project Leader

Listening is the key

Restaurando las Familias Foundation, in partnership with the local government and various district entities, held an important series of community listening and participation sessions, primarily focused on single mothers (female heads of household) in our community, as well as all individuals interested in contributing to the resolution of the issues affecting their surroundings.

This sessions featured the valuable presence of officials from several district departments of the Cartagena de Indias Mayor’s Office, who listened firsthand to the concerns, needs, and proposals shared by the attendees. It was a meaningful and productive space where community members were able to express themselves openly and respectfully, and where our foundation carefully recorded every comment and request.

At Restaurando las Familias Foundation, we are committed not only to empowering single mothers through training in areas that promote self-sufficiency and productivity, but also to actively listening to them, understanding their realities, and working in coordination with the competent institutions to address their needs and find sustainable solutions.

We firmly believe in the power of active listening as a tool for social transformation. The sessions offered us valuable insights and reaffirmed our commitment to building strong connections between the community and the entities responsible for delivering effective responses.

Those were vey fruitful days, and we are already planning more listening sessions to continue building a more just and inclusive future—together.
