We are a non-profit organization that promotes job training, entrepreneurship, the popular economy, employability, corporate social responsibility, equity, climate change mitigation, and environmental protection.<\/p>

We are located in Cartagena de Indias D.T. and C., and through our operations we aim to primarily benefit vulnerable communities located in the Mamonal Industrial Zone, especially those in the vicinity of Zona Franca La Candelaria. Among these, the Membrillal Village stands out, located approximately one kilometer from the industrial park.<\/p>

We are committed to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to compliance with the current development plans at the national, departmental, and district levels.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Zona Franca La Candelaria Foundation is characterized by:<\/strong><\/p>

  1. It has a socio-environmental impact-driven approach, as its purpose is not to develop initiatives that create \u201cproducts\u201d that do not truly improve the quality of life of the most vulnerable population groups, but rather to implement programs that transform communities with the greatest needs and promote sustainable development.<\/li>
  2. To produce the best possible results with the least amount of resources; in other words, \u201cdoing more with less.\u201d<\/li>
  3. To prioritize socio-environmental investment in budget execution.<\/li>
  4. To appeal to teamwork, shared value, and collective impact.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
