We continue working to turn the present of education into a better future. That is why, in 2024, we will continue to expand to new territories and reach more children and young people in Colombia so that they can have a quality education.

In 24 municipalities in the country, we support 28,157 students with educational and school infrastructure projects, in addition to the 6,700 children and young people enrolled in the schools that we support and that bear the Foundation's name.

In 2024, we delivered a new school in the city of Cartagena, in theVillas de Aranjuez sector, which will serve around 1,000 students per year and contribute to expanding educational coverage in Colombia.

Also, in partnership with the Ministry of National Education, we delivered the intervention of two schools with an ethno-educational approach in Riohacha and Uribia, in the department of La Guajira, serving more than 1,500 students, most of whom belong to the Wayúu indigenous community, as well as migrants from Venezuela.

In the same year, we also delivered 10,965 kits, uniforms and reading materials to students, teachers, directors and coordinators of the schools we support. The supplies are part of the projects we develop to ensure that no child is left behind and strengthen their cognitive and emotional skills.

Finally, with the objective of supporting teachers in learning new skills, we were able to get 690 teachers to take part in the training processes that the Foundation created for them and continue to be a fundamental part of the pedagogical processes of their students. In this way, we are guaranteeing the replication of good questions and new skills in the classroom.

With these figures we close 2024, thanking all the Pies Descalzos community that makes this possible and all the children and young people in the country, who are our reason for being to turn the present of education into a better future. Read the full report here: Management Report 2024
