Claudia Vergara

 Bogotá

We are a passionate and committed social foundation based in Colombia and we want to be part of a global network of organizations striving to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the year 2030. Our motivation is to contribute to the collective effort in creating positive and sustainable change. We believe that collaborating with like-minded organizations on a global scale, such as those within the Catalyst 2030 network, will amplify our impact and help us achieve our shared goals more effectively. We are willing to collaborate, exchange ideas, and share best practices. We are excited about the opportunity to learn from others and contribute our own experiences to shape innovative solutions to complex challenges. Being a member of Catalyst 2030 would provide us access to a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and resources. This will enable us to enhance our projects, refine our strategies, and make informed decisions that lead to lasting change. We also believe that we can create synergies that lead to far-reaching and sustainable impact beyond what any one organization can achieve alone. Being a part of Catalyst 2030 would expand our reach and enable us to connect with partners and stakeholders from around the world.
