'Trabajar en territorios apartados es donde realmente se logra la transformación social': Fundación Alpina

TL;DR

Alpina Foundation's 2025 strategy focused on vulnerable territories (Alta Guajira, Vichada, Cauca), food security, and rural productive projects.
Initiatives included consolidating sales points for indigenous associations in La Guajira, advancing food security with three ethnic groups in Vichada, and strengthening women's productive projects in Cauca.
The foundation also works with allies in Santander and Antioquia to strengthen productive themes.
Financial support comes from internal resources and strategic allies such as Fundación Mundo Mujer, Fundación Saldarriaga Concha, Fundación Arturo Sesana, Fondo Acción, Fundación Bolívar, Fundación Davivienda, and Fundación Grupo Bios.
Significant results include families increasing meals from two to three daily, a 62% average income increase for participants, and 75% of producers applying sustainable farming practices.
Challenges faced in 2025 included changes in global funding (USAid's disappearance), security situations in Cauca, and climate change impacts.
In 2025, approximately 1,500 participants were involved, with 60% being small producers. Over 300 productive gardens were implemented.
Plans for 2026 include joining Misión La Guajira, initiating a sustainable livestock project, and consolidating their work in existing laboratories.
