About us
We are a family of friends and families who believe no child should grow up alone.
A bridge of love and hope
At Allegra Friends and Families Colombia we work for the wellbeing of vulnerable children and families, supporting them physically, emotionally and spiritually.
We believe every child deserves to grow up surrounded by love, care and a family. That's why we bring together people, families, churches and partners — in Colombia and abroad — who want to transform lives through service.
Through our initiatives we seek to
Sponsor vulnerable children and families through other families in Colombia and abroad.
Accompany children in ICBF care institutions through discipleship.
Promote adoption, foster care and family integration as a right and an opportunity for love.
Connect volunteer families, partnerships and ambassadors who want to transform lives through service.

Our story
Allegra was born from the desire of a group of friends and families to walk alongside children growing up in care homes and in vulnerable situations in Colombia.
What began as visits and small gestures became a network of sponsors, volunteers and partners that today supports children in homes, ICBF institutions, hospitals and communities.
Our name says it all: we want every child to smile again. :)
Our team
Volunteers, sponsors and families who give their time, talent and love at every activity.
A message from our founder
“No child should feel forgotten”
When we saw up close the reality of children growing up without a family, we knew we couldn't stand still. Allegra is the response of many people who decided to love in practical ways.
Thank you to every sponsor, volunteer and partner who makes this dream possible. Together we are building a more compassionate Colombia, where every child finds love, care and a family.
