In 2022 the well-being model of Bioksan, focused on caring for Health, the Planet and People, crosses to the other side of the Atlantic and arrives in safe harbor on the Island of Earth Bomb - Colombia. An island community located in front of the bay of historic Cartagena de Indias, where more than 3,000 people live in conditions of extreme material poverty, in the middle of a sea of opportunities due to its natural environment and the cultural wealth of its community.
The Bioksan Collaboration Model in Latin America
This is where our model found an opportunity for impact by partnering with the project Bluish Gifts, a wonderful children's center initiative of the Gifts of Mercy Foundation which offers nutritional recovery and first-level initial education to 70 boys and girls in early childhood under the Reggio Emilia methodology, which promotes child development based on observation and the individual interests of each child.
With the launch of this center, we lay the foundations so that a new generation has the cognitive and security conditions necessary to empower themselves in their territory and their own destiny, and that together with their families they can take advantage of the opportunities that only magical locations as Tierra Bomba offers, such as conscious tourism with community and natural impact.
In Bluish Gifts The children's parents are also the protagonists and that is why many of them were enrolled in the construction work of the center during the 2020 confinement; In addition to providing them with decent work, they attend parent training workshops and have an active role in learning approaches, thus ensuring that the spirit of Health, Planet and People includes the entire family and helps us build a better world in every corner. .
In March 2022 Bioksan joins Dones Azulado as an official sponsor.
