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

Based in Cartagena de Indias, D.T. and C., our work is primarily focused on supporting vulnerable communities located within the Mamonal Industrial Zone, especially those surrounding Zona Franca La Candelaria. Among these communities, Membrillal Village stands out due to its proximity to the industrial park, located approximately one kilometer away.<\/p>

We are committed to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and aligning our initiatives with 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 guided by four key principles:<\/strong><\/p>

  1. We follow a socio-environmental impact-driven approach. Our purpose is not to develop isolated initiatives or short-term solutions, but to implement programs that truly improve quality of life, transform vulnerable communities, and promote sustainable development.<\/li>
  2. We strive to achieve the greatest possible results with the most efficient use of resources \u2014 doing more with less.<\/li>
  3. We prioritize socio-environmental investment as a key component of our budget execution and community development strategy.<\/li>
  4. We promote teamwork, shared value, and collective impact through collaboration with communities, institutions, companies, and strategic partners.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
