The Foundation works to make life more dignified for farmers by building and improving homes, launching educational programs for female heads of household, distributing nutritional supplements to seniors, supporting families with members with disabilities, and participating in community initiatives that seek to improve the quality of life in their communities.
Thanks to the combined efforts of both foundations, these families are able to improve their living conditions, transforming other aspects of their lives and creating opportunities to continue building a future full of possibilities.
CONVENIO 2023
PROJECTS
Currently, with the help of the Compasión Foundation, we are supporting 10 rural families located in Eastern Antioquia : San Vicente, Marinilla, El Peñol, El Santuario, and San Carlos.
Edilma del Carmen Echeverry and her family
The first delivery of the 2023 agreement with the Compasión Foundation was to Mrs. Edilma Echeverry in the municipality of San Vicente. She, along with her husband and son, achieved their dream of living in a new home where they could build their future.
Mauricio Jiménez Zuluaga and his family
In this installment, we share with Mauricio Jiménez and his family in the municipality of El Santuario. Mauricio works as a Civil Defense volunteer. His dream was to provide adequate housing for his wife and two children. He worked hard for this, and today, thanks to this partnership, his dream has come true with the construction and final delivery of the home, where they can continue fulfilling their family's goals.
MARIA NUBIA LÓPEZ duque Y SU FAMILIA
In the municipality of Marinilla , this family lived in a house that did not meet the conditions for habitation and therefore
There were many risks; with our contribution and the alliance we have, we managed to change this situation.
Today they live in a new home, a safe place; their home is more peaceful, and we're sure this is the start of continuing to fulfill all their projects and taking advantage of the opportunities to move forward as a family.
Maria Irene Cardona and her family
Maria Irene and her family were displaced and arrived in the municipality of San Vicente de Ferrer , where she was born. Her mother gave them a plot of land, and they lived there for a long time in an unsuitable home, but always with great family unity.
On this occasion, as a family, they committed to working on their home with their own hands and thus enjoying the entire process of equipping it, which, with great joy and satisfaction, we were able to be a part of.
Yasmín Andrea David and her family
Yasmín lives with her family in San Vicente de Ferrer . Together, they have strived to achieve the best possible quality of life, and making a change to their home is part of this, especially for one of her children, who has a disability.
Providing a home in much more suitable conditions for this family allows them to live there in peace, security, and, above all, to continue supporting one another.
Victor Ruben Duque and his family
Víctor is the president of the community action board of the El Morro neighborhood in the municipality of El Santuario and became involved in a charitable effort, donating a lot to his neighbor, who was also a beneficiary of a housing grant.
For this act and example of solidarity and generosity , Victor was also selected to improve the conditions of his home, making this a very special donation thanks to the kindness he showed to his community.
We could see the joy in their faces at having a new home that we're sure they'll take care of, and that there, as a family, they'll be able to continue building many more projects together.
MARIA LEONILDA Torres and her grandson
Maria Leonilda and her grandson live in the municipality of El Peñol , a small family but who dreamed big of a change for their home, so they could continue working and get ahead together.
We are delighted to be part of this story. We hope that this home, now much more suitable for them, will be filled with unity and blessings, so that they can embark on a new beginning together.
Juan Carlos Murillo and his family
This young couple from the municipality of San Carlos are an example of parents who dream of giving their children a good future and growing up alongside them. That's why we decided to join forces to provide them with the necessary support and housing adapted to their needs.
Thanks to the combined efforts of many, today we can witness a new beginning for this family, and more importantly, we offer them a place of their own where they can continue moving forward together.
YAMILE GARCÍA AND HER FAMILY
Yamile and her family live in the municipality of San Carlos (Antioquia) and They've had to endure difficult times, such as the armed conflict. Furthermore, the home they were in didn't meet some basic standards, which allowed us to improve them by building a new home.
Thanks to our alliance and the unity of many communities, today this family has a home where they can write a new story and begin many new projects.
AGREEMENT 2022
The agreement with the Compasión Foundation aims to improve the living conditions of rural families living in extreme poverty by building decent housing.
In this project, we serve families in vulnerable situations, with housing in very poor condition or families who have a plot of land but lack the means to build adequate housing.
In 2022, we impacted 20 families in the municipalities of Carolina del Principe, San Carlos, Granada, El Peñol, El Santuario, and Marinilla . During these deliveries, we were able to see the families' emotions as they fulfilled their housing goals and witnessed how all their hard work throughout the process was reflected in a home built to the right conditions for habitation.
