Maestro Cares Foundation, alongside Fundación Tecnoglass and Fundación Pacific funded the construction of a complex that serves as an orphanage and a school for orphaned and disadvantaged children.

This campus is a home for abused and abandoned boys and girls, but also includes a middle school that provides programs to the children residing in the orphanage as well as at risk children from the surrounding community.

In agreement with the municipality of Barranquilla and the Colombian institute of family welfare, they offer tutoring, therapy, occupational workshops and extracurricular activities. Consequently, these children are given the opportunity to further develop their skills and teach them the essentials to become productive members of society.
