Although Colombia relies heavily on its police officers, their families are not properly supported in the cases that the officers pass away. The widows are left to fend for themselves with a small pension of approximately $315 USD, and are often unable to provide a proper education for their children.

As part of their mission, Fundación Corazón Verde seeks to improve the life conditions of these families and have created a multitude of programs that are meant to help widows with economic opportunities, provide scholarhips for children of fallen officers, improve housing conditions, and provide psychological support for grieving families.

Through their “Grado Once” program, they are able to facilitate academic opportunities for these children by providing scholarships. These scholarships will benefit children as young as 2 years old and up to 18 years old when they earn their high school diploma. 90% of these kids have lost a parent who was a police officer, and 10% are children of police officers who have become disabled in the line of duty and are also falling through the cracks of the system as they are unable to work and support their families.

This initiative helps 500 children every year, and since its inception in 2005 it has helped 9,036 students. We now have partened with Fundación Corazón Verde to help provide scholarships for 25 students. Please help us make their dream possible!
