El pasado 6 de julio de 2018, Global Giving anunció que 99 nuevas organizaciones sin fines de lucro se han unido a Global Giving, entre las cuales está SOLE Colombia.

Cada una de las organizaciones ha participado en GlobalGiving’s Accelerator, un programa de capacitación virtual y una campaña de crowdfunding que ayuda a las organizaciones sin fines de lucro a llevar su recaudación de fondos en línea al siguiente nivel.

Gracias a quienes donaron a nuestro proyecto «Re-empower 130+ local educators in rural Colombia«, hemos logrado recaudar al menos  $ 5,000 USD de 40 donantes diferentes en junio de 2018 y con esto ganamos un espacio permanente como miembros de Global Giving.

Ahora el reto es alcanzar nuestra siguiente meta y así llegar a muchas más personas y comunidades. Agradecemos especialmente a cada persona que nos ha apoyado por creer en nuestra causa. ¡Entre todos estamos cambiando el futuro del aprendizaje en la Colombia rural!

Compartimos con ustedes el comunicado en inglés que escribe Global Giving sobre SOLE Colombia.
