At the heart of our mission is a belief in people—their capacity to dream, to learn, and to transform the world around them. By empowering young people with knowledge, skills, and purpose, we nurture leaders who can uplift both the material and spiritual well-being of their communities.
Through our comprehensive curriculum—now embraced in more than 20 countries—we are cultivating agents of change who are building self-sufficient, resilient communities and paving the way toward a just and sustainable future.
Through the SAT program, we bring quality secondary education directly to rural communities. With a curriculum that blends academic learning with practical life skills—and is fully accredited in several countries—thousands of young people are breaking cycles of poverty and stepping into leadership roles.
Our PSA program trains youth as promoters of community well-being, equipping them to lead grassroots change. Beyond this, our innovative online courses expand access globally, while in-person training in Northern Cauca builds local capacity for education and development.
From reforesting 11.5 hectares of nutrient deficient land in Cauca to planting more than 22,000 native trees in rural communities, FUNDAEC is regenerating ecosystems, protecting biodiversity, and inspiring a new generation of environmental stewards.
At our Regenerative Agriculture Demonstrative Farm, farmers learn to revitalize the soil, diversify crops, and secure nutritious food for their families. With more than 40 “satellite farms” already active, smallholder farmers are proving that sustainable practices can fight hunger while healing the land.
PSA doesn’t just teach—it seeds real businesses. With modest support ($500–$1,000 per project), students and community members have launched thriving ventures—from cheese-making and beauty salons to local shops and craft cooperatives—creating jobs, dignity, and lasting hope.
At FUNDAEC, we believe education is a catalyst for unlocking human potential—strengthening communities, nurturing dignity, and transforming aspirations into reality.
Through Weaving Stories, we share some stories of individuals who, with the support of FUNDAEC, are not only improving their own lives but also driving progress and transformation across their communities.
