Education Assistance
The Green Light Education Assistance Program motivates children from low income families to stay in school by providing uniforms and community supports such as tutoring
and community projects. The program is active in the departments of Santander and Guajira. These students proudly display their new backpacks received by donation by Totto Colombia. In all, Totto donated 250 knapsacks to the program. |
CAPD provides vulnerable people with the training and assistance needed to improve the quality of their life.
