Dear Familia Poderosa,
Powerful Children Colombia is thrilled to share our 2024 Annual Report with you.
We are grateful for another year of contributing to our collective efforts of enabling the powerful children of Colombia to embrace their power and potential by way of athletic programs created by fearless, passionate, and selfless community leaders. Every year, we acquire new learnings that improve our ways of working, strengthen our relationships with the vulnerable communities we serve, and expand our vision for ways to invest in our beautiful Colombia.
Measuring impact by the numbers is never enough to illustrate the progress on the ground. However, we are proud to share that this past year, we reached 215 children and raised over $43,000. During our trip to Colombia in November, we heard phrases like: “El deporte es paz” (sport is peace) and “Lo que se escribe en el alma de un niño no se puede borrar” (what you write in a child's soul cannot be erased). The joy, gratitude, love, vulnerability, and resilience of the kids, their families, and their leaders shone bright in every visit.
Be sure to check out the Alpha FC page for a recent interview with Cofounders Esteban and Andrea. Their reflections really demonstrate the passion and care that fuels these programs.
Thank you for continuing to believe in this mission, to invest in this mission, to enable us and our children to dream big. We have exciting plans for 2025 and none of it could be possible without your support, the support of our familia poderosa.
With infinite gratitude and inspiration for the future,
The Powerful Children Colombia Team
