Fundación Visión 20/20 Colombia

What Fundación Visión 20/20 Colombia does

Fundación Visión 20/20 Colombia is a non-profit foundation founded in 2012 in Cachipay, Cundinamarca, by Luis Reinoso and Andrea Lombo. It operates with a core team of 6 plus volunteers and addresses the digital divide in rural Colombia through a portfolio of connectivity, education, and entrepreneurship programs. Its service population includes rural farming families in Cundinamarca, indigenous communities such as the Macedonia Reserve in Amazonas, and rural children, youth, and adult entrepreneurs across multiple departments.

Its core offerings are divided into three pillars: connectivity (Nuestra Red community networks using recycled materials and participatory design, plus the 2024 Bufeo Project Pilot in Amazonas), education (the Campo Digital Program providing STEM training in programming, robotics, and Arduino, delivered in person via technology brigades and online via Canvas LMS courses such as Desafío STEAM, Programación Básica en Python, and Introducción a Arduino), and entrepreneurship support (digital literacy for adults and free online tools for rural entrepreneurs). The foundation also maintains an Offline Open Library in an indigenous reservation, enabling content access without internet connectivity. Technical infrastructure is deliberately low-cost and community-owned, with the 2016 Ministry of Telecommunications registration as the key regulatory asset.

The foundation is funded exclusively through donations and microdonations (most notably the 1,000 COP "Mil Pesos, Mil Sueños" campaign via the biolibre.co platform), supplemented by in-kind contributions and corporate giving. Services are free to beneficiaries. Distribution is direct and field-based: technology brigades travel to remote communities, and courses are delivered on Canvas LMS by invitation. Strategic partners include the Ministry of Communications, a university partner, and corporate ally JAV.

• Rhizomatica: Nonprofit that builds and operates community cellular networks for indigenous and rural communities in Mexico and Latin America — closely comparable in community-owned network methodology and indigenous beneficiary focus.
• Colnodo: Colombian NGO that works on ICT for development, digital inclusion, and community connectivity in rural areas of Colombia — directly comparable as a domestic ICT4D nonprofit with overlapping beneficiary segments.
• Fundación Karisma: Colombian nonprofit focused on digital rights and technology inclusion — directly comparable as a domestic social-impact organization working at the intersection of technology, inclusion, and vulnerable communities.
• Social TIC: Mexican nonprofit specializing in digital inclusion, civic technology, and connectivity for underserved communities — comparable as a Latin American digital inclusion nonprofit operating with community-based methodology.

Broad incumbents

• Internet Society: Global nonprofit promoting open internet development and community networks worldwide — broadly comparable in mission (community connectivity, internet for all) but operates as an advocacy and capacity-building umbrella rather than direct service delivery.
• Code.org: Global nonprofit promoting computer science and STEM education — broadly comparable in STEM/digital-literacy curriculum delivery to youth, but operating at vastly larger scale and not focused on rural connectivity.

Regional players

Emerging players
