We're FEM (Fundación por la Educación Multidimensional). We are a vetted, Colombian non-profit organization operating from Cartagena. We work with and empower communities to dream a better future and undertake sustainable development projects.

That way, new win-win scenarios can be negotiated with the stakeholders that surround them, to break the historical inequality and exclusion that has stunted our growth as a nation. Help us by crowdfunding, fundraising, volunteering, or purchasing our products. Find out more! #powertogether #poderjuntxs #buildingbridges #tendiendopuentes
