In Medell\u00edn (4.3M inhabitants), we work together with local specialists to develop and launch projects that help disadvantaged young women to form a positive but realistic perspective for the future. We finance this with funds collected in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

At the moment, Amigos Colombianos is working hard to set up an extrainstitutional program for young women who are set to leave a care program. Without sufficient aftercare, most will relapse into their old lives and routines. Supporting them requires a degree of personal attention which most local institutions are not (yet) able to offer. Thanks to our broad knowledge base, our extensive experience and the network we\u2019ve built in Medell\u00edn, however, we are in the position to do something about it. With this in mind, we\u2019ve started up two new programs:\u00a0A Helping Hand\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0Let’s Get To Work!<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image src=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/onswerk_home.png” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”right” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation_direction=”right” animation_style=”slide” animation_duration=”500ms” animation_intensity_slide=”10%” show_bottom_space=”on” _builder_version=”3.0.89″ border_color_all=”#ffffff” border_style_all=”solid” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”lijn” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” module_alignment=”left” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”on” width_unit=”on” custom_width_px=”800px” use_custom_gutter=”off” padding_mobile=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” parallax_2=”off” parallax_method_2=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image src=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/onswerk_home1.png” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”left” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation_direction=”left” animation_style=”slide” animation_duration=”500ms” animation_intensity_slide=”10%” show_bottom_space=”on” _builder_version=”3.0.89″ border_color_all=”#ffffff” max_width=”80%” module_alignment=”center” border_style_all=”solid” \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”header overgedragen projecten” use_border_color=”off” header_font=”Special Elite||||” module_alignment=”left” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial” _builder_version=”3.13.1″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_alignment=”left” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial” _builder_version=”3.13.1″]<\/p>\n Over the past twelve years and with the help of affiliated organisations, Amigos Colombianos has accomplished a whole lot. The number of young women living on the street in Medell\u00edn has dropped substantially. In 2003 we started doing work on the streets, and managed to get girls into the municipal youth shelters that previously only boys were admitted to. We set up tailor-made follow-up programs for girls on the street, established family homes and passed ongoing projects on to local and municipal institutions.<\/p>\n
