About us

A Colombian foundation to rebuild Colombia

Based in Yopal, Casanare, we were born to turn solidarity into concrete work.

The Ford Business Group Foundation is a non-profit organization, registered under NIT 901939980-2, dedicated to rebuilding the areas of Colombia devastated by the magnitude 7.4 earthquake of 10 August 2026. We believe that rebuilding a country is not only about raising buildings, but about giving each community back its ability to learn, heal and thrive.

🎯

Our mission

Rebuild schools, hospitals and community infrastructure in earthquake-affected areas, prioritizing the country's most remote and vulnerable communities.

Our vision

A Colombia where no child is left without a classroom, no community without a hospital and no region forgotten after a disaster.

Our values

How we work

🤝

Transparency

Every figure we publish has a verifiable source. We do not exaggerate or invent data.

📍

Proximity

We start where it is hardest to reach and work with communities, not above them.

Permanence

We do not leave when the cameras go. We stay until the work fulfills its purpose.

A letter from our director

“We cannot bring back what was lost, but we can rebuild tomorrow.”

When the earth shook on 10 August, all of Colombia held its breath. In seconds, classrooms where children learned and hospitals where life began were reduced to rubble. Watching the map of tragedy spread across fifteen departments was heartbreaking.

But we also saw something more: the strength of a country that refuses to give up. At the Ford Business Group Foundation we commit to standing with communities — starting with the most forgotten in Chocó — until the last school reopens its doors and the last hospital turns its lights back on.

To rebuild is an act of collective hope. I invite you to walk this path with us.
