We want to thank our donors, volunteers and other benefactors!!!! because their efforts made the progress of this last semester possible. We want to share with you the harvest of this work that moves us to continue putting more effort and dedication so that more young women do not fall into poverty traps.
Juventus continues to have a valuable positive impact this semester:
• We reached 70 direct beneficiaries and 250 indirect beneficiaries;
• Once again we verify that our comprehensive training proposal focused on being, knowing and doing leaves an indelible mark on the girls – they develop technical skills along with the management of emotions and self-knowledge to face life's challenges;
• Our girls, despite being divided by ages between 14 and 17 years old, have managed to forge a solid union among them, promoting mutual understanding and collective learning. They are empathetic, dreamy, tolerant, respectful and persevering young people;
• The university scholarships that we grant through our academy benefactors fill us with more happiness and the desire to continue working on the transformation of lives: 4 beneficiaries obtained a scholarship at the Catholic University of Colombia to study architecture, psychology and law; 5 at the Universidad de la Sabana to study law, international business administration, computer engineering, nursing and medicine; 1 scholarship at the University of Applied and Environmental Sciences to study geographic and environmental engineering and 1 scholarship at the ECCI University to study nursing.
Additionally, our girls have had a unique experience that opens up opportunities for them to expand their horizons and dreams: being beneficiaries of corporate volunteering with two large IT multinational companies such as Juniper and Cisco; The girls were able to learn about the company's operations, the experiences of its employees, knew different work fields and acquired tools for their life projects.
"You, the donor, made this happen!"and encourages us to continue working to obtain resources aim to scale the Juventus program and keep innovation go on and on so that more girls reach their dreams
