„CASA HOGAR addresses the educational support of young women and girls in the Chocó region in western Colombia, which is controlled by guerrillas and paramilitaries. The local Catholic Church is an important partner here, especially since the influence of government bodies in the region is severely limited. In close cooperation, a needs-based concept is developed, which is implemented efficiently and objectively, accompanied by transparent educational work, but always without exaggerated self-congratulation, by those involved with the local partners.“
