Core offering

Doulos Foundation is a faith-based nonprofit that equips local churches and community leaders in Barranquilla, Colombia to run social development and humanitarian programs. It delivers peacebuilding (DoulosPaz), women's dignity (DoulosBelleza), disaster resilience (RedSiliencia), English-language training (CampFire), technology training (Plataforma ITC), and operates a circular-fashion social enterprise (New Life Store) that reinvests in its programs.

Product overview

Fundación Doulos operates as a community development organization offering multiple programs organized under two main areas: Programs (iniciativas de programas) and Innovation (innovación). The Programs include community initiatives in sports/recreation/arts, water and sanitation, migrant support, spiritual/emotional support, disaster resilience, nutrition/food security, local government advocacy, business/entrepreneurship, and English as a second language. The Innovation arm includes specific initiatives like New Life Store (circular fashion for migrant women), RedSiliencia (disaster resilience, launched 2024), Campfire, and Plataforma ITC (English language connection platforms). The portfolio is structured as a collection of distinct social programs rather than a unified software platform.
