Julie Zurek de Ardila Foundation
Julie Foundation
At Julie Foundation we focus on improving the quality of life for young girls and teenagers from vulnerable communities in Cartagena. Our organization’s main strategic goal consists of empowering women through a holistic program directed at strengthening their psychosocial growth, leadership skills, academic performance, family relationships, and creating a life goal.
What we do:
We work with 34 girls ages 12 to 17, who receive holistic attention that focuses on empowering their fundamental rights as women and strengthening their psychosocial resilience. Our girls are in charge of spreading the foundation’s message to more than 200 people within the community.
We reach 31 families in La Esperanza neighborhood with our Parenting School where we improve community relationships and promote dialogue as an alternative to internal conflicts in each household.
We provide Sexual and Reproductive orientation to girls within the community in order to prevent the expansion of teen pregnancy in Cartagena.
