Letter from the executive directorDear Friends of Give To Colombia,At Give To Colombia, we strive every day to prove why Colombia is different. We work to improve our understanding of our own country so that others will associate it with growth, change, and raw talent. And most importantly, we are proud to share our time-tested idea that Colombia is a country worth investing in, as any investment made in the country can yield a great return in the field thanks to the overwhelming talent of its people.

This idea of return is evident in the very structure of our organization, which with an annual operational budget of approximately $300,000 dollars has been able to leverage $2 to $3 million dollars per year towards social projects. In 2012, we surpassed this target, raising $4.4 million, and impacting over 30,000 Colombians in conditions of vulnerability.

I would like to thank our donors for being an integral part of our work in 2012. Without their help, we would not have been able to support important projects in the areas of Education, Economic Development, Health, and the Environment, providing access to housing, nutrition, sanitary bathrooms, academic opportunities, environmental awareness, hygiene education and entrepreneurship training to thousands of Colombians located in 16 regions throughout the country.

It is also worth noting that in 2012 we were able to improve our relationships with international donors, local partner foundations, and the Colombian public sector, maximizing the impact of our projects.

Moreover, in March of 2012, we signed a $2 million dollar agreement with the Inter-American Development Bank to design and implement a comprehensive long-term project that aims to provide scalable and sustainable access to basic water supply and sanitation services in the poorest, most rural areas of Colombia. I’ve decided to highlight this project because it demonstrates our commitment to deepening our impact in Colombian society. We are confident that by working with leading foundations and contractors in the field, we will be able to bring innovative and sustainable water and sanitation solutions to those who need it most in the most remote, rural areas of Colombia.

Thanks to our considerable experience in the Colombian social sector, we are able to identify projects in which Colombian talent achieves the maximum return on your investment. Next year, we plan to continue to demonstrate that when you invest in Colombia, Colombia Gives Back.

Our utmost gratitude goes out to those who allow us to contribute to the improvement of Colombia. We hope we can count on your support in the future.

Sincerely,

Angela Maria TafurExecutive Director

At Give To Colombia, our work begins with an assessment of the needs and inclinations of our donors. We offer advising services to the donors in order to ensure that their social investment benefits initiatives that are tailored to them. We maintain a portfolio of initiatives of local foundations focused in four areas, which are selected based on criteria related to their operational and administrative capacity, and their ability to efficiently manage resources while guaranteeing transparency. To select these foundations, we perform a due diligence process in which we thoroughly revise legal and financial documents of our potential partners. Our work with the local foundations is based on mutual respect and teamwork, so that we maximize the financial and human resources of our local allies. Once a donation is approved, we rigorously monitor projects that are committed to specific, measurable goals within a set timeframe. We assess our allies’ effectiveness regularly, in order to achieve meaningful and measurable impact. We also help our local allies comply with international donors’ requirements in terms of evaluation and reporting.

OUR manifestoWe believe that the pinnacle of giving comes when you receive something

in return. This belief becomes a tested reality in a place where you get back much more than what you put in: Colombia.

Colombians are a special kind of people, full of bravery and determination, willing to overcome obstacles and rise above it all.

We invite you to become our on-the-ground partner in “Give To Colombia”: a non-profit foundation held to the highest standards of

transparency and accountability.

Our model is a guide to the inner workings of the country and a resource for the most efficient ways to operate.

And so we ask: Are you receiving the most return for your social investment?

In the spirit of the transparency of our foundation and the unmatchable determination that marks our country, we can make a promise few others

can deliver: the maximum social return on your investment.

Give to Colombia. Colombia Gives Back.

It combines augmentative and alternative communication as a means to enhance or supplement speech and writing through images, sound and signs.After using the software during a period of one year, students showed significant improvement in oral comprehension, reading comprehension, writing, ICT skills, class attention, and the ability to follow teacher’s directions in bi-monthly evaluations. In addition, the evaluations demonstrated that teachers also improved their use of ICTs (computer, interactive whiteboard and use of software) as a tool for educational settings.

The majority of apparel workers in Medellín earn a minimum wage that in many cases constitutes the entire family´s source of income. The lack of sufficient funds to satisfy their families' needs, combined with the poor management of these funds, leads these families to face high-debt, little capacity to acquire housing, education, or a business and a lack of ability to save or generate additional income.

With this in mind, Give To Colombia and Interactuar have been working together for the past four years in Antioquia, mainly with Levi's women garment factory workers, providing access to financing of income-generating activities. The program provides financial literacy training, matched savings and support for micro-enterprise development through a program oriented towards creating culture of saving, and at improving participants’ household incomes and quality of life. More specifically, this program seeks to provide these vulnerable families with the necessary tools to acquire assets through financial literacy workshops, a savings program and the promotion of entrepreneurship initiatives.

The impact of this initiative has not only been significant in terms of the empowerment and resilience that beneficiaries have developed, but in terms of the commitment of the participating factories regarding their employees' well-being, quality of life beyond their immediate job, and the image and perception of Levi Strauss. With this project, Levi Strauss has dramatically changed, not only in terms of the conditions of its workers, but that of the entire apparel industry of Medellín, creating healthy employees that can shift to other industries and areas when production levels are low or can count on income earned from having their own microbusinesses.

Testimony: “Thank you Interactuar and Give To Colombia for supporting me with consulting services. These helped me improve my business and have a more global vision of it. My business has improved and I am looking for a new location where I can offer more products to clients in the sector. Thank you so much!”

*As this is an ongoing project, it is estimated that around 10% of Artisanal and Small-scale Mining Organizations (ASMOs) in the world could potentially benefit from the Fairmined standard. In addition, 16-18 ASMOs in different countries around the world are currently working directly with ARM in order to comply with the Fairmined standard.

Approximately 2,500 tons of gold are mined around the world every year. Of this, between 200 and 300 tons originate from Artisanal and Small-scale Mining (ASM), which provides almost 90% of employment in the gold mining sector. ASM provides employment and income opportunities to about 15 million miners and their families in developing countries of Latin America, Africa and Asia. In most cases, these artisanal and small-scale miners (many of whom are women and children) work in unsafe and exploitative working conditions, and live in extreme poverty. As highlighted in Fairtrade and ARM’s Gold Policy Report, ASM mining, as it is currently practiced in most areas, often involves the unsafe use of mercury and other toxic substances, deforestation, discrimination against women, the use of child labor, poor working conditions and exploitative supply chains.

To combat this, ARM, in alliance with Give To Colombia, implemented the Responsible Mining initiative to address two of ARM’s current priorities, which focus on making fair market opportunities more accessible to artisanal and small-scale miners and ensuring that global

Featured Project: Responsible Mining

supply chain reform initiatives incorporate a fair market approach and consider the rights of community miners. The initiative focuses on increasing the number of ASM organizations that are committed to improving their social, environmental, labor and trading performance, through combining the further evolution of Fairtrade and Fairmined standards, with the implementation of a diversified producer support and training strategy to ensure more miners in Africa, Asia and Latin America can reach certification.

According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC), hand washing, along with the storage of potable water, access to safe drinking water, and basic sanitation are the most efficient ways to reduce the transmission of infectious diseases, such as diarrheic diseases, acute respiratory infections, and skin and eye infections, among others, in communities. An adoption of appropriate hygiene measures, accompanied by education on this subject, could reduce the incidence of acute diarrheal disease and and acute respiratory infection rates by up to 45%, according to the World Health Organization.In response, Give To Colombia, in partnership with Covidien, the Presidential Agency of International Cooperation (APC Colombia), and the Community Health Division of Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá, developed a project to bring a healthier culture of hand washing across Colombia through a “hands-on” training program. The program trained approximately 400 social workers in Bogotá, Cali, and Medellín, to act as multipliers of a strategy on hand hygiene for the prevention and control of infectious diseases, directed at vulnerable communities.

Testimony: “The communication strategy is well presented since it is an activity that can be performed in a short amount of time and allows people to be creative and dynamic.” - social workers in Cali when asked about effectiveness of training program

In March of 2012, Give To Colombia was selected by the Inter-American Development Bank as the Executing Agency for the implementation of the project “Comprehensive Models of Access to Water and Sanitation.” The purpose of the project is to design and implement demand-driven and service oriented pilot programs that will seek to provide scalable and sustainable access to basic water supply and sanitation services in the poorest and most vulnerable areas of Colombia. The project focuses on the following areas:

Promotion of hygiene and sanitation in schools located in rural areas. Individual solutions for potable water and sanitation in various rural areas. In-house connections (wash basin, bathroom and shower) for households in suburban areas.

The project is currently in the implementation phase and is planned for completion in December of 2014.

TransformingPhilanthropy

Transforming Philanthropy was created in 2010 as an initiative that seeks to promote and facilitate collaborative and strategic social investment among Colombia’s leading families and economic groups, build on the capacity of the social sector, and motivate public-private partnerships to achieve high social impact. For the past two years, two forums and various regional workshops have been organized with the goal of disseminating ideas, best practices, and lessons learned among this group. The initiative provides participants with the know-how on utilizing knowledge to structure implementation plans that translate into high-impact social investments in the areas of Health, Education, Economic Development and Environment. In this way, Transforming Philanthropy achieves its core objective of promoting and increasing social investment in Colombia.The initiative includes regional seminars during which participants explore innovative approaches to maximize the social impact of their investments and become social investors who, under a theory of change model, commit to supporting long-term interventions and increasing the flow of strategic investments into the country's social sector.

On January 27 and November 2, Transforming Philanthropy hosted and organized two Regional workshops: one on Impact Investing and the other on Sustainable Capitalism in Bogotá and Cali, respectively. The events included expert speakers and leaders in the field of philanthropy, including Jed Emerson, Laura Herman, Aurelio Ramos, and the heads of private, corporate and family foundations like Manuel Jose Carvajal, Claudia Garcia and Esteban Piedrahita.

In addition, the workshops have expanded to include site visits with Colombian philanthropists. On November 3rd, with the support of The Nature Conservancy (TNC) a site visit was organized to TNC´s Valle del Cauca Water Fund.

These events were organized to follow up the knowledge gained during the past Annual Forums and to keep encouraging opportunities of collaboration and creation of networks. We invite anyone who is interested to participate in these transformative, engaging, and collaborative sessions that occur throughout the year.
