Celsia Colombia Foundation

Our Purpose
Breidy, Jeremy and Oscar try out their new school cafeteria with Superenérgico. Manuela Beltrán school building, Obando, Valle del Cauca.
Celsia Colombia Foundation contribute to Colombia social development by strengthening the quality of education in the communities where the organization is operating. To do so, it works on a management model that integrates school improvement in terms of electricity and water, and the strengthening of skills for teaching mathematics, language arts, environmental education and other actions for strenthening academic capacities.
The foundation also supports the Conecta corporate volunteer program that brings together the employees of Celsia, Grupo Argos, Argos and Odinsa. Based on this business initiative, we inspire, transform and make the communities’ dreams come true by transferring knowledge, executing our reforestation programs and improving educational infrastructure.

Management Model
Bearing in mind that receiving a comprehensive, quality education allows people to have greater and better opportunities to be part of society and successfully face the challenges involved, the Foundations’ management model is intended to:- Minimize the health risks for the educational community due to the lack of water and sanitation, or due to electrical hazards.
- Create conditions for children to stay in school by providing access to electricity, water and sanitation.
- Encourage the dedication of teachers and school administrators to their goal of educating, by reducing concerns regarding how to address issues related to supplies (electricity and water).
- Provide the technical conditions required for school cafeterias that will allow access to the government’s school feeding programs.
- Encourage the construction of a pleasant, decent school environment for the educational community.
- Support teachers’ planning processes in order for them to articulate the different curricular guidelines, basic standards and teaching tools in their classroom proposals.
- Focus teachers’ efforts on developing students’ skills, going beyond the level of just learning concepts.
- Encourage behavioral changes in the educational community regarding the protection of natural resources, with the intention of establishing an environmental culture.
