A nonprofit foundation in Bogotá, since 2026

What was once a girl with dreams now has wings to fly, and can teach others how.

We support educational, environmental and economic processes with women and girls.

About us

We are a foundation of women committed to sisterhood, solidarity and empowerment. We were founded in Bogotá in 2026 by five women from one family: an economist, a social worker, an accountant, an artist and a sociologist. They brought together their professional experience and their will to serve to walk alongside other women.

The seven areas

We fly steadily through seven areas of work. Alas Púrpuras is already under way; the other six are being designed, each for a different community, with its own projects and timelines.

From within her, greatness takes flight.
