Where We Are

Transforming lives in…

Bolívar

The birthplace of Juanfe and the heart of our work in Colombia. From Cartagena, we support thousands of teenage mothers through an integrated model of education, psychosocial support, and employability.

Antioquia

We extend our impact to Medellín and Urabá, providing women in vulnerable situations with technical training, comprehensive care, and access to dignified employment.

Spain

Our presence in Spain strengthens partnerships and mobilizes resources to expand our social transformation model globally.

Miami

We promote social inclusion for migrants by facilitating access to education, jobs, and essential resources for integration.

Chile

Our model was replicated by Fundación Soy Más in La Pintana — Santiago’s district with the highest rate of teen pregnancy — to create new opportunities for young mothers and their children.

Panamá

Through Fundación Voces Vitales, our model was replicated at the Las Claras Center in Panama City. Adapted to the local context, the program addresses teenage pregnancy and inequality.
