The municipality of Algeciras in Huila, where we as a foundation support a social project, is off the main roads on the border to the province of Caquetá. It is characterized by mountains, fog and coldness. Before the 2016 peace deal, here was the area of the FARC-EP southern bloc. With the peace agreement, initiatives developed to make social life more peaceful and also to integrate former combatants into civilian life. A women’s association, a cultural and sports foundation and a coffee cooperative were founded. As a family foundation, we support the „Fundación Social Esperanza y Paz“ who was founded in 2018, which wants to give young people an alternative, primarily through sport and culture. The foundation has been also in the national media several times. It is also currently going on, so people interested in football are being sought. Above all, the offers are intended to prevent the recruitment of young people for criminal groups and armed organizations, but also social problems such as teenage pregnancy and drug use.
