Sustainability

We're changing the way that non-profits work in Colombia. Help us to grow and contribute to the wellbeing and lives of the indigenous  and Afro communities in the Colombian Caribbean

We believe in Self Sustainability

Funding an non profit in Colombia is quite a challenge: Corruption is a trong setback for raising public funds. International Cooperation is often directed only at the huge corporative gameplayers. So how can a local based Non Profit survive...and flourish? We have developed fun and interesting fundraising methods:
We crowdfund often,  
We have our own products and services, and now also help communities do the same.
We have scholarship agreements for our volunteers to keep our team high skilled

Cartagena Insider by FEM

By working closely with the communities we team up with, we developed a unique series of activities that go beyond the obvious “city tour” that tourists typically experience in Cartagena. Cartagena Insider offers a tourist alternative based in cultural and sustainable tourism, which enables our visitors to discover the lesser-known and more authentic Cartagena experience by connecting with actual locals.

​If you’re interested in uncovering the best-kept secrets of Cartagena and seek unique experiences you won’t find elsewhere, these tours are for you. In addition, every ticket sold goes towards our community projects that helps benefit the very locals you’ll be on the tours with!

Success story! CAFE STEPPING STONE

In 2017, we met Vanessa, Tom and Hannah, 3 Australian social entrepreneurs who wanted to create a Cafe in Cartagena to encourage vulnerable youth to get a forst formal hire and thus improve the quality of their employment for the rest of their life. That was how Cafe Stepping Stone appeared in Cartagena. And it also became our first successful Spinoff this year. We were sad to see them go, but once breakeven point was reached, we fulfilled our incubation process, and we saw them fly out of the nest! Now we are partners in many projects to make Cartagena a better place for everyone.
