Fundación las Golondrinas

In our educational processes we currently attend:

• 885 children in Pre-school
• 875 children in Primary school
• 50 children in high-school (job skill training)
• 390 in Basic Processes

For a total of 2.200 children and girls.
In addition we have 280 children from 14 rural settlements of the municipality of Concordia, who are accompanied by the Foundation in a program of Family Environment.

Built thanks to the support and involvement of corporations and individuals who believe in the foundation and in education to achieve social development. We currently attend, from pre-school up to seventh grade, children and young people marginalized and displaced by the violence, which creates in these children and young people special conditions because of their young age and academic retardation.

Our education program is developed through three proposals:

Regular Formal Education: Includes the levels of basic primary and secondary education, offered at the three schools of the Foundation.
Early Childhood: Offered through two educational proposals: Healthy Start and Institutional Environment with MEN and ICBF through the agreement 877, aimed at children aged 3 and 4.
Basic Processes: A program for children and young people with ages 9 to 15 whom have never studied, it is to level in a year their mathematical logic and reading-writing skills for their inclusion in regular classrooms ensuring decreased levels of overage and illiteracy. We have 13 sets of basic processes in 10 institutions in the City.
