Each year, we collaborate with two partner foundations we know personally, so we know exactly where every donation goes and which projects it supports. Both organizations are independent, rely entirely on donations, and are driven by committed people working tirelessly to support vulnerable communities. Through these partnerships, we can guarantee that your contribution creates real and immediate impact. Since our first event on July 4th, we have been working hand in hand with our partner foundations in South America. Siona, co-founder of Baila Florecita, traveled to Bogotá and Chía to work directly on site with our first partner foundation, documenting how the funds are used and the impact they create. In February 2026, we also had the opportunity to collaborate in Ecuador with our second partner foundation. These experiences allow us to share transparent documentation and firsthand stories, so you can clearly see where the money goes and how lives are being touched. Take a look at the foundations we are supporting this year or those we supported last year, with whom we were able to celebrate wonderful successes.

IN Colombia, CHia: CIUDAD DE dios Zoe
In Colombia, an estimated 334,000 children fall victim to sexual violence every year. But where the state fails, committed citizens step in to protect the well-being of the most vulnerable. One such example is the foundation Casa de Dios Zoe in Chía, near the Colombian capital Bogotá.
​
​
Led by award winning educator María Paola Franceschi Suescún, the foundation supports more than 280 infants, children, and young people who come from extreme poverty and have been directly affected by child exploitation, sexual abuse, or violence at home. It works closely with families and especially with single mothers to create stability and long term perspectives.
Through the foundation, these children gain access to safe spaces, protection, psychosocial care, and education that can completely change the course of their lives and offer real hope for the future. This emotionally demanding work survives solely through donations, and without it, the futures of hundreds of children would look entirely different.
​
We are deeply grateful to collaborate with such courageous and trustworthy people. In January 2026, Siona, co founder, worked directly on site to strengthen this partnership and witness the impact firsthand. Discover the stories behind the work and see how your support creates real change.

IN Ecuador, Ambato: Jóvenes para el Futuro:
For over 30 years, the award-winning foundation Jóvenes para el Futuro has supported vulnerable young people, families in acute crisis and Venezuelan migrants rebuilding their lives in Ecuador. What they have achieved over the years is truly remarkable, and we are deeply grateful to have them as one of our trusted partner foundations.
They run numerous projects, from daily meals and emergency support to legal guidance for Venezuelan migrants who might otherwise be left without help.
Baila Florecita supports one specific project in Ambato: a free educational and recreational programme for children and teenagers from low-income families. It provides learning support, workshops and suitable materials, with the aim of preventing school dropout and helping students successfully complete the school year. By giving them structure, guidance and real opportunities, the programm helps prevent vulnerable young people from ending up on the streets or being drawn into drug use.

We are deeply grateful to work with them. Lila’s mother has collaborated with the foundation in the past and knows its team personally, making this partnership especially meaningful and built on genuine trust.
Last year: ecuador, fundation loco living
After unexpected challenges made it impossible to continue with our initially selected partner foundation in Ecuador, we were fortunate to partner with Fundación Loco Living, one of the country’s most established foundations. Visiting their work in person and joining their projects allowed us to build a partnership grounded in trust and transparency, guaranteeing that 100 percent of all donated funds reach where they are meant to.
As their name suggests, loco meaning crazy, the foundation supports people through creative ideas that help them build long term paths out of poverty. Fundación Loco Living works with vulnerable children, families and elderly people on the streets in Cuenca through education and community programs that create real opportunities and sustainable perspectives for the future.
​
Their work has no fixed limits. From distributing food in some of the poorest and most dangerous areas of Ecuador to supporting street vendors or fulfilling lifelong dreams, Loco Living responds wherever help is needed.

Experiencing their work firsthand showed us the depth of their impact and care behind every project. We are grateful to collaborate with such dedicated people and excited about what we can continue to achieve together.
