Vision
Our vision is to empower children who have the skills to pursue their dream.
History
Genesis Foundation was founded in the United States by a group of Colombian business leaders who believed in giving back their achievements to the most vulnerable communities in Colombia. The country where they lived, worked and fulfilled their dreams.
In 2001,
Genesis began as a second level organization, focused on education and health projects in Colombia and with Hispanic communities in the United States.
In 2005,
the office in Colombia was set up, which allowed its sources of income and institutional relations to expand and provide financial support to organizations.
