Corporación Vínculos

What Corporación Vínculos does

Corporación Vínculos is a private Colombian non-governmental organization (ONG) founded in 2003 and headquartered in Bogotá (Calle 44 # 8 – 77, Of. 401), operating under NIT 830.120.252-5. Its stated mission is to provide psychosocial accompaniment to victims of armed conflict and to build cultures of peace across Colombia through therapeutic processes, memory initiatives, and capacity-building programs. The organization employs approximately 18 people and delivers services across at least ten Colombian regions including Bogotá, Buenaventura, Villavicencio, Leticia, Barranquilla, Soledad, Antioquia, Norte de Santander, and Guaviare.

The organization does not sell a technology product; its core "products" are service programs grouped into three lines: (1) psychosocial accompaniment (individual and group therapy for women victims of sexual violence and political violence); (2) peace and memory initiatives — a portfolio of branded cultural projects (Despertares, Hilando por la Paz, Memorias del Corazón, Morichales, Mujeres Renacientes, Metas con Propósitos de Paz, Las Guapuchonas) using photography, fabric art, clay modeling, theater, and itinerant books to transform trauma into collective memory; and (3) Formación y Academia, an educational platform (academia.corporacionvinculos.org) offering courses on psychosocial care for social agents, community leaders, and public officials. A podcast ("El nuevo tesoro de la juventud") launched in October 2025 extends the offering into audio content.

Corporación Vínculos is funded almost entirely through international cooperation grants from a small set of institutional donors — Misereor, Caritas Luxembourg, Agiamondo, the European Union, and the Austrian Catholic Women's Movement (KFB) — supplemented by individual donations. Services are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries. It implements projects in partnership with international and local organizations including Coalico, Mesa Psicosocial, Red Somos Generación de Verdad, Red Llano y Selva, CONPAZCOL, and Pastoral Social Regional Suroriente Colombiano, and operates within Colombia's broader peacebuilding and psychosocial support ecosystem. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
