Volunteer
in Colombia

Volunteering allow us to live purposeful and meaningful lives, we were called to share our gifts and our talents with the world, especially those who need us the most. When a child smiles as a result of our small act of kindness, we feel like our lives hold immense value since we are able to provide happiness and joy to those who need us the most. Some of our children don't know what love is, some of them were abandoned by their parents or have experience trauma due to their environment, when we volunteer our love we are able to change their whole lives in just one day, because for that child that day could be the happiest day of their lives. ‍

We work with children and single mothers of the most vulnerable communities in Colombia, every community has different needs and we plan our humanitarian brigades according to each community. We support with emergency relief and in addition to that, we support with activities that will provide development and education for children and single mothers. For us is really important that you behave as an agent of change, giving them the tools they need to develop their talents to believe in themselves. Children and mothers are creators, innovators and they are valuable to society, as a volunteer you will provide support and guidance so that they can see themselves as valuable agents of change.

Colombia boasts a diverse cultural landscape, from its vibrant cities to its lush landscapes and indigenous communities. Volunteering here allows individuals to immerse themselves in this rich tapestry, learning about Colombian traditions, languages, and customs firsthand. Interacting with locals and engaging in community projects provides a deep understanding of Colombian culture that is unparalleled.Poverty remains a significant challenge in Colombia, despite recent economic progress and efforts to address social inequalities. Rural areas, in particular, bear the brunt of poverty, with limited access to education, healthcare, and basic services exacerbating the situation for vulnerable communities. Many volunteering opportunities in Colombia are community-driven initiatives aimed at addressing local challenges and promoting social development. By participating in these projects, volunteers play a direct role in empowering communities, fostering sustainable growth, and improving quality of life.
