About Us

Mariposas Amarillas is a small Colombian grassroots organization committed to supporting disadvantaged children and families around Santa Marta, Colombia.

The organization provides services (education, psychological assistance, recreation), supplies (food, clothing, items for school and home), and information on nutrition, education, and childcare to families in Santa Marta’s poorest neighborhoods.

The foundation continues to grow, but we need your help! We are now accepting foreign and local volunteers to help with administration, fundraising, and publicity and to teach classes and offer counseling to children.

We are also accepting donations. Donations of as little as $10 USD can help us purchase food, clothing, shoes, and medicine for children in need. Looking for a longer commitment? Become a sponsor and change a child’s life.
