La Escuela iDeal in Colombia

IDEAL OF SWEDEN is proud to support La Escuela Ideal in northern Colombia and to give 150 children the chance to build their best future each year.

Every child has the right to education. It can be a way out of poverty, an opportunity for an independent life, or a chance to make a difference in the world. We want to give every child equal rights to a quality education, so we’ve teamed up with Swedish charity organisation Ankarstiftelsen to make a change. Together, we have laid the grounds for building a school in Northern Colombia.

Located in Hurraichichon, a small town in the La Guajira province, the new “La Escuela Ideal” is at the heart of a vastly isolated, barely accessible area. Getting to school is a challenge for many children in the rural communities, and most schools lack the resources necessary to keep their buildings intact or expand. That is why IDEAL OF SWEDEN has chosen to contribute and help ensure that each child in the area has access to an education. After concluding the building process in October 2018, the school has recently been handed over to the community and opened its doors to the children in the area. Encompassing two classrooms, “La Escuela Ideal” gives 150 children the chance to gain valuable knowledge to help build their future each and every year.
We are beyond thankful for the chance to help these young individuals thrive, and to be able to use our resources and expertise to offer support where it’s needed most.
