The unemployment rate for women in Colombia has exceeded 25% -10 points above the same rate for men, and the highest in the region. There are 7.1 million unemployed female heads of household who have been the most affected by the pandemic, risking the progress achieved in gender equality in recent decades. Our project provides an integral environment to empower women for them to reactivate economically, by supporting them on four fronts related to their coaching and training as entrepreneurs.

We aim to reduce poverty and inequality, educating young people in vulnerable conditions with a focus on work opportunities. This project will increase the employment rate for youngsters in vulnerable communities. In 2023, Fundacion ROFE will develop training programs for 1,000 youngsters in Colombia covering 3 areas: 1-Soft skills - leadership, teamwork, conflict resolution, communication skills; 2-Entrepreneurship - ideation, validation, and expansion of the business 3-Computer programming.
