We work towards a sustainable future full of opportunities for our communities.
Our Story
The Frailejones Foundation was established in 2019, driven by the desire to transform the lives of rural communities in the Coffee Region, promoting their culture and preserving the valuable natural heritage of the páramos. Inspired by the resilience of the frailejón, this organisation took shape thanks to the commitment of local leaders and international allies dedicated to the development of this region, sharing values such as sustainability, empathy, love, and collaboration.
Throughout its journey, the foundation has faced significant challenges, such as the need to overcome cultural and social barriers in a region affected by conflict, where many communities have been forgotten and their territories neglected. However, its holistic approach and constant dedication have turned these challenges into opportunities to empower communities, sow hope, and build a more equitable and sustainable future.
