Projects: Conviventia supports various projects that maintain or improve the capacity and effectiveness of programs addressing the root causes of poverty. From infrastructure improvements to adding technology in the schools, the programs become stronger.

Child Protection and Family Strengthening: Conviventia works to prevent psychosocial risks and mitigate their effects on children. Our approach emphasizes equipping families with counseling, guidance, and practical tools to protect children from abuse, neglect, exploitation, or abandonment. We promote safer environments by fostering healthy family dynamics, supporting schools in their protective role, and mobilizing community leaders to be active agents of care. We advance this mission through family therapy, crisis intervention, and programs that restore broken relationships. By addressing root causes and promoting resilience, we help create protective networks where children can grow and thrive in safety and hope.

Capacity Building: Conviventia is a grassroots development organization with a strong track record of program design and delivery. Drawing upon lessons, tools, strategies and best practices and making them available to organizations and community groups both domestically and in the region. Through the process of knowledge exchange and training, the capacity building program increases the capacity and overall effectiveness of the development and relief efforts of civil society organizations.

Humanitarian Aid: Conviventia delivers medical, housing and nutritional assistance to impoverished families in Colombia, as well as responding to emergency relief and disaster recovery efforts when events occur.

Income Generation: Conviventia's Income Generation program provides technical training to adults and job search and placement support, allowing families and individuals to sustain themselves and provide the opportunity to break free from poverty.
