More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

International Refugee Trust's local partner, Cigarra, works with a community of approximately 1000 people from around 300 under-privileged families in Ciudad Bolivar, the suburbs of Bogotá in Colombia, who have mostly been displaced from the rural areas by decades of conflict between armed groups including guerrillas, paramilitary, and the army. This project will train 60 individuals, mostly women, who have been assessed for a commitment to the training and the project's objectives.

Activities
