A bit of history
La Cigarra Non-Profit Organization s mission is to provide "integral quality attention" to the vulnerable population of Puertas del Paraíso, Ciudad Bolívar in Bogotá. We have a garden with 180 boys and girls between the ages of 1 and 18 years old. The children between 5 and 18 years old, attend the Foundation in the opposite day of their school day. In addition to having a safe place to learn and play, we offer nutritional and psychological support. In our new stage, we seek to strengthen their development through music, technology and English programs.
Make a difference in a child's life!
With a contribution of $7,045 (the equivalent of perhaps a pack of potatoes and a soda) you can contribute to the nutrition of 1 child of the Cigarra Non-Profit Organization who is waiting for the support of generous hearts interested in his well-being.
Fundación Exito is already part of this wonderful project.

Thanks to the constant support, she developed skills and values that have allowed her to study Occupational Health and Safety.

Angie Tatiana Poveda Ruíz
Since she joined the Cigarra Non-Profit Organization at the age of 7, Angie Tatiana Poveda showed great perseverance. With the support of our psychologists and teachers, she applied to the National University, but when she did not achieve the necessary score, she never gave up. With the support of her family, she found her way to the Institute to study Criminalistics, the career she always dreamed of. Today, graduated and looking for opportunities in the investigative field, Angie is one more example of the positive impact of the Cigarra Non-Profit Organization. We are very proud of you, Angie!
