Scholarship for Studies

Colombia has been living in civil war for more than 50 years. Although the conflict officially ended with the peace treaty in 2016, violence continues in many areas of the country, increasingly connected to drug trafficking. Parallel to the expansion of the conflict and the political violence, Colombian cities are severely hit by a new wave of criminal acts and selective murders against members of the weakest and most marginalized sections of society (poor people, street children, small drug dealers, drug addicts, prostitutes and homosexuals). with the term “limpieza social” (social cleansing), it is one of the major consequences of the serious social conflict and of the discriminating and excluding policies of the economic and political classes. General objective of the project Accompany and support young university students from the La Sierra and Villa Turbay neighborhoods, educating them to be committed to their neighborhood. Specific objectives of the project Support young university students in the La Sierra and Villa Turbay districts, offering them a supplementary scholarship, which allows them to support the costs of transport, food and teaching materials. Accompany young people in their studies, constantly monitoring their performance and supporting them in learning. Educating young university students to serve the community, suggesting volunteering as a return for the scholarship received.

Beyond the Walls

Beyond the Walls

Beyond the Walls

Project to guarantee food, education and medical care to hundreds of children and families in difficulty in Mexico, without uprooting them from their loved ones, culture and territory. General objectives of the project Guarantee respect for fundamental human rights to children and young people: FOOD, MEDICAL CARE, EDUCATION, PROTECTION and PLAY Promote solutions that, instead of creating "walls" and divisions between peoples, are able to create "bridges" between them. Specific objectives of the project The project aims to offer children and young people from 3 different Mexican cities (Mexico City, Aguascalientes and Hermosillo) concrete support in these 3 areas: Educational (school fees, books and teaching materials, etc.), to which 50% of the economic resources are dedicated; Healthcare (medicines, medical treatments, visits, etc.), to which 25% of the economic resources are dedicated; Socio-family (help to the child's family, food program, recreational activities, etc.), to which 25% of the economic resources are dedicated. With the project "Beyond the Walls" in Mexico we try to help young people, with their families, who find themselves in situations of economic and family difficulty, also following the devastating earthquake that occurred in September 2017, with priority to those who are children of Inmigrantes. We try to offer the latter a special accompaniment towards obtaining a technical training capable of offering them a job in Mexico. In this way, it is avoided that these young people, together with their parents, retry emigrating to the USA as illegal immigrants, which unfortunately happens with great frequency even in the "Trump" period. Whenever possible, and where conditions of generalized need exist, we prefer to help an entire school class of children, guaranteeing indiscriminate support among schoolchildren belonging to the same group.
