Context of the community in which he works
The Sol Naciente School is located in the municipality of Tocancipá, 40 minutes from the city of Bogotá, the capital of Colombia. Its rapid business and industrial development has brought with it the consequent demographic growth from different regions of the country and even from other countries. This process has generated social and cultural changes, as well as the accentuation of different problems and inequalities in the municipality.
We currently serve 370 children and adolescents between the ages of 3 to 18 years, their families belong to different socioeconomic backgrounds and some of them have greater needs, so they are helped by a sponsorship program to ensure them a quality education.
