Challenge

The socially meaningful program, Juventus, responds to the economic and social challenges women must face currently.The Covid-19 crisis affects society, especially women.In Colombia, the job sectors that had to close the most were the ones where women were mainly hired. The main conclusion given by the UN was that the advances for women obtained in a decade were lost in the last year. International organisms insist that the clue is promoting jobs and closing the gap through educational programs.

Solution

By supporting the teen girl's formation in the biological, emotional, rational, social, and spiritual dimensions, the Asociacion Cultural Femenina social program Juventus seeks to help the economic development of society. To help the adolescent girls to learn by experience to lead their lives, to increase self awareness and to take their liberty responsibly is our main aim. With your sponsorship, we will help more women to successfully overcome their daily challenges.

Long-Term Impact
