Holy Wednesday

A special day, today is not Saturday; the day we usually receive our kids. Today is Wednesday and not a particularly one, Today is a Holy week Wednesday! And we decided to give special attention and assist our beneficiaries in these short but significant vacations. We decided to keep performing activities like the one we worked on the last Saturday.

Informational Meeting with the parents

Mi Ciudad Con Vida Foundation opens its doors to all the parents in this New Year. The informational meeting counted with the participation of 40 Parents, in this meeting they received orientations about the programs we are about to develop with their kids every Saturday and also during the weeks.

Who we are

The Mi Ciudad con Vida Foundation, created in the year 2000, is a private, independent, not for profit organization.

Where we work

Foundation activities take place in the Barrio Lipaya, a community on the southeastern perimeter of Barranquilla, an area struggling with poverty and indigence.

Mission

Mi Ciudad con Vida seeks to promote the full growth and personal development of children and youth from low income backgrounds in the areas of education, health and recreation; in Barranquilla, Colombia we currently work with 127children ages 3 to 18, divided into 3 major age groups.

Vision

In the next few years, the Foundation hopes to have the adequate infrastructure and national as well as international support to sustain its programs. The Foundation will provide ongoing support for children as they enter the school system until they complete their studies and are ready to participate in their communities as productive and successful individuals.

Why we exist

Colombia is a country ravaged by violence. The social, economic and political crisis translates into a very high level of abject poverty. Children and youth are most affected by this phenomenon.
