Somos Territorio Soachuno (We are Soachuno Territory)
Challenge
Colombia’s municipality of Soacha has experienced rapid population growth due to the arrival of migrants from elsewhere in Colombia and abroad. This has led to various economic and social vulnerabilities, informal land occupation, state neglect, and stigmatization.
Solution
Fundación Genval will establish a regenerative community tourism initiative in Soacha involving both migrants and host communities, to reduce economic disparities, foster community empowerment, and harness the area’s multicultural and heritage potential for sustainable prosperity.
Impact
Almost 2,000 community members (men, women, and young people) are expected to benefit from enhanced livelihoods, social cohesion, and wellbeing.
