By Diego Mosquera | Coofunder

Thanks to your support we have we provide opportunities for children to improve their nutritional conditions and develop their creative and cognitive physical competencies while supporting families to improve on internal crises and train for work from a children's canteen that provides children with breakfast daily , in addition to educational workshops for training in values, healthy lifestyle habits, art and creative reading among others. We also carry out workshops with the mamites and in the line of positive upbringing and also in culinary and artistic arts.

We have achieved many things since we started our project which we describe below:

Number of workshops to promote healthy, recreational and art life: 11
Number of workshops to promote good treatment, stress management: 2
Number of home visits: 110 (made in two time periods of 3 months)
Number of entrepreneurship workshops: 2
60 school kits delivered
120 oral hygiene kits delivered
80% have improved their nutritional condition
90% have improved their eating habits
98% say children are happy with the dining room
Interpersonal relationships among children have improved 50% reduced their bad vocabulary
85% of children have improved their healthy hygiene habits
Oral hygiene I don't have the exact data
20% fewer cases of domestic violence

There are 3 mothers developing their own commercial activities, for the workshops learned. Mothers have learned from the foundation that the child should not be mistreated but talked They have also learned how to raise their children better, how to feed them, and many other things and all this we do because we are interested in children being able to have the favorable conditions for integral development, growing in protective environments and overcoming their difficult situations. . We want our children to be happy. We notice the improvement of the nutritional status, the decrease in the levels of abuse and the improvement of life habits in terms of health, hygiene and behavior and improvement in social interaction, and it also favors community integration among beneficiary caregivers. and generates entrepreneurship practices in mothers.

we dream of having a place where learning environments of English, technology, music arts are created where children can count on all the resources to develop their skills and ultimately that this project can be taken to all vulnerable areas of the city of Cartagena .

Your support is essential for this project to continue and we can reach many more families.
