54 Years of Hope: A Journey Built Together

By ANA PALACIO | EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Juan is an 8-year-old boy who was abandoned and has been living at Superarse for 4 years

For 54 years, every step of Superarse has been guided by the hands and hearts of those who believe in our mission. Thanks to your support, commitment, and love for the children and young people we protect, we have walked this path together—leaving footprints of hope and transformation along the way.

In 2024, he was one of the 97 boys who found a safe and loving home in our Boys' Shelter. He was one of 126 children who received education and support through our Day Program, ensuring they had a future beyond survival. He was one of the 100% of children who received medical care, who no longer had to suffer in silence from untreated pain or illness.

Through personalized education, he caught up on the school years he had missed. Through nutritional guidance, he learned not just to eat, but to enjoy food as a source of strength and joy. Through emotional support, he discovered something truly life-changing:

He was not alone anymore.

Juan's story is just one of many. In 2024, together, we delivered over 100,000 full meals, more than 70,000 nutritious snacks, and countless moments of love and care. 95% of the children improved their nutrition, and 90% successfully advanced in school.

But beyond the numbers, the real impact is in the smiles, the laughter, and the dreams reborn. Every child we support carries a story of resilience, and every person who helps—donors, volunteers, partners—becomes part of that transformation.

This is not just about giving shelter. It’s about giving a future. And with your support, we can reach more children, change more lives, and create more stories like Juan’s.

Be part of this mission. Help us build more futures in Medellín, Colombia!
