VALIENTES COLOMBIA ONG

What VALIENTES COLOMBIA ONG does

VALIENTES COLOMBIA ONG is a Colombian non-governmental organization established in 2020 and headquartered in Bogotá, with a staff of approximately 25, that combats human trafficking and the commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents (ESCNNA). It delivers its mission through three core programs: a prevention program operating in tourism settings, educational institutions, and at-risk communities; a victim and survivor assistance program providing trauma-informed psychological care; and an ESCNNA Observatory that conducts research and generates public-policy recommendations. The organization also runs specialized workshops including CIBER-TRAMPA (digital crimes against minors), Comunidades Protectoras (community awareness), Turismo Responsable (tourism sector training), Escuelas Protectoras (school-based prevention), and the Empresas Valientes corporate social-responsibility program. Its services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries.

The organization sustains itself through donations, corporate social-responsibility partnerships (notably with the tourism sector), and government grants from entities such as FONTUR and MINCIT. It distributes its work through regional volunteer networks (nodos) anchored in Bogotá and now expanding into Medellín/Antioquia, articulation with territorial mayoralties and the Personería de Envigado, direct school programs, and the Empresas Valientes corporate engagement channel. Internationally, it partners with LATAM Airlines' Avión Solidario program for humanitarian transport, with UNESCO and Save the Children through the CIBER-TRAMPA event, and with multiple Latin American universities. Its reported public-policy outcome includes securing a national prohibition on marriages with persons under 18 years of age in Colombia.

The underlying operational technology is minimal in the traditional product sense — there is no disclosed proprietary software platform — but the organization operates a structured program portfolio with clearly delineated products/workshops, a Facebook presence for outreach, Google Forms for volunteer recruitment, and a website (valientescolombia.org) serving as the primary public face. Revenue mechanics are non-commercial: beneficiaries do not pay, and income derives from philanthropy, CSR budgets, and public-sector project funding, making the financial model dependent on continued institutional support rather than transactional revenue.
