Throughout the last two decades, we have made a significant imprint on our community.&nbsp; From our first program &#8211; Casas Francisco Esperanza (<em>Francisco Hope Homes)<\/em>, dedicated to building peace &#8211; to our most recent projects in the categories of enhanced civic action, income generation, reflection and dialogue, education and culture, we have worked tirelessly to support regional development. &nbsp;Replication of successful projects, such as the Civic Prize for a Better City, have demonstrated our commitment to innovation and progress.<\/p>\n<p>We gratefully remember events such as the International Symposium for Restorative Justice and Peace in Colombia, held in 2005 with participation of Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu.&nbsp; It furthered incorporation of restorative justice processes in Colombia\u00b4s Justice and Peace Law. The 2009 International Symposium for Microfinance and Peacebuilding became the foundational cornerstone for Colombia\u00b4s Association of Microfinance Institutions.<\/p>\n<p>Our commitment is also materialized in projects such as Tecnocentro Cultural Somos Pac\u00edfico (<em>\u201cWe are the Pacific\u201d Technocenter<\/em>), a living space for social transformation in eastern Cali.&nbsp; Rumbo Joven (<em>Youth on Course<\/em>), a program focused on youth employment, has generated job opportunities for young people in Cali. Abriendo Caminos (<em>Opening Pathways<\/em>), which seeks to reduce youth violence in marginal areas through conflict mediation, and Colomb!anas, a transmedia platform, giving a voice to Colombian women, have also made their marks.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, we faced challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and Cali\u2019s widespread public protests, known as the \u201cSocial Explosion\u201d.&nbsp; As a result of these new realities, Compromiso Valle (<em>Commitment to Valle<\/em>) emerged.&nbsp; It ambitiously expanded our programs to other municipalities in the region, including Buenaventura, Palmira y Yumbo. We are especially proud of the Laboratorio de Ideaci\u00f3n Comunitaria: \u00a1Del Dicho al Hecho! (<em>Laboratory for Community Ideation: from Words to Action!<\/em>), which promotes participation and creativity among community leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Alvaralice Foundation extends its most sincere thanks to all our partners and allies who have been crucial to these twenty years of philanthropic commitment.&nbsp; Your collaboration has been essential to the Foundation\u2019s projects and to the positive impact achieved in our community.<\/p>\n<p>We thank everyone for their commitment and dedication.
