In 2001, when the Fundación Colombianitos was founded, the project “Goles para Una Vida Mejor” (Goals for a better life) started in Ciudad Bolívar, in the south of Bogotá. That is how the citizens from this town began to benefit from the educational tools that sports use to develop their potential and acquire new life skills.
During 20 years of uninterrupted work and operation in this town, 10.525 children and adolescents have been benefited in 6 sectors of Ciudad Bolivar with projects that have been financed by very important allies like Bancolombia, FIFA, BID, Coca Cola, Sony, and Ecopetrol, who have trusted the work carried out by Colombianitos within the communities.
We are currently developing our operations in two areas of Ciudad Bolívar, in the Parque Illimaní and the Guabal sector, benefiting more than 200 minors from this town.
Thanks to this project we are transforming communities in these areas and demonstrating that our program is one of the best options to promote peaceful coexistence and the building of peace.
