INTERACTUAR Microcredit Fund

Created in 2021 to support the economic recovery of Communes 3 and 8, this fund aims to assist neighborhood businesses in these areas of the city through credit resources, training, mentoring, and business strengthening. The Foundation provided the seed funding for the creation of the fund and, by doing so, assumes the credit risk—preventing that risk from being transferred to small businesses in the form of high interest rates.

Proyecto de Desarrollo Rural

A model developed by Fundación Aurelio Llano Posada aimed at helping rural families and individuals build a path toward sustainable rural development. This is achieved through participatory planning and collective territorial analysis, identifying local strengths and addressing weaknesses.
Using this model, we have worked with the community of San Luis in the municipality of Támesis and with several rural communities in the municipality of Jericó. In 2025, we will begin our intervention in the La Arabia community in the municipality of Venecia. In all of these rural areas, Fundación Fraternidad has implemented its quality-education strategy, which includes a complete upgrade of the educational infrastructure.

Development Alliance

The Alliance is a collective impact strategy made up of more than 23 corporate and/or family foundations united by a common purpose: to be a social force that transforms territories, improves the quality of life in rural communities, and promotes sustainable development. Together, they implement the Comprehensive Development Program for Sustainable Communities, which aims to train and support the development of sustainable communities with a territorial approach.
