Fundación Ana Restrepo de Corral
  Location: Bogotá, Colombia

Established in 1970 by a group of ex-students from a well recognized private school from Bogotá (Gimnasio Femenino), the not-for-profit institution Fundación Ana Restrepo del Corral, offers preschool through high-school education to over 1,000 children from economically disadvantaged families. In order to guarantee an integral approach, the organization provides its students with a wide variety of complementary services such as nutritional support, occupational therapy, audiology and dental and medical assistance.

 

The organization achieves excellent results on Colombia’s national exams (SABER and ICFES) measuring the quality of education, a low drop-out-of-rate, has been recognized nationally for its outstanding work, and enrolls a good number of students who receive scholarships to continue with their undergraduate studies. Additionally, to prepare students to enter the job market, the institution has a partnership with SENA, the governmental institution in charge of technical education in Colombia, to offer high school vocational-technical education.

 

Since 2007, Genesis Foundation has supported the infrastructural project ‘Bases Firmes Educación Segura.’ This project is refurbishing one of institution’s main buildings in order to guarantee children’s security and to provide an adequate study environment.
