Proyecto Me Ama
(Project I am Loved)
We partner with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church of Armenia to provide the Homework Club, with twenty-five children meeting daily after school, in a space provided by the church. The kids are from disadvantaged and immigrant families with many social and financial needs. Two dedicated professionals provide educational support reinforcing math, reading, English, arts and music. The staff also assists the families of the children with groceries. The program provides healthy snacks and assistance with purchase of school supplies, school shoes and other necessities. The families of the children have expressed their deep gratitude for this program. The kids also take field trips and outings that they would not otherwise be able to enjoy.

Sembradores de Sonrisas
(Sowers of Smiles)
This project grew out of a partnership with the Casa de Oracion Methodist church. The program operates at a permanent location provided by Colombia Kids, a house in the neighborhood where the children who attend live. The local community and families are involved in supporting this program. Around 100 kids meet there each Saturday, organized by age group. The volunteer leaders provide age-appropriate activities and a hot meal. Check out their Instagram and see what great work they are doing.

Construyemos Ciudad
(Building Community)
Colombia Kids works with the Fe y Esperanza Methodist Church in Cartagena, serving eighty-five children ranging in age from 3 to 16. They gather every weekend for art, singing, worship and other activities. The program also serves lunch to 120 children each weekday and breakfast on Sundays, helping to address the difficult economic situation in the community. Many of the families in this community do not have sufficient resources to provide more than two meals a day for their children, and we are proud to be able to help address this situation, because we all know that a child needs to be nourished to be educated.
Who we are
Colombia Kids was founded in 2015 as a 501(c)(3) organization to provide educational and social programs for underserved children in Colombia to learn, explore their world and experience growth in a safe loving environment.
