Fundadores de Vida Older Adults
We work with compassion to ensure a dignified and productive life for older adults
What We Do
Fundación Niño Jesús, we believe that every older adult deserves to age with dignity, purpose, and meaning. That is why we have developed our own comprehensive intervention model, built on years of experience working with vulnerable older adults and in partnership with local government agencies through our program Founders of Life
Our model recognizes older adults as active participants in society and as individuals with rights, life stories, talents, and knowledge that enrich their families and society. We promote active and healthy aging through a biopsychosocial approach that strengthens personal development, preventive care, and the strengthening of creative and productive abilities.
Through meaningful community-based programs and activities, we encourage autonomy, participation, self-expression, and leadership, empowering older adults to redefine and strengthen their role within the community.
Today, our program Founders of Life serves 215 older adults at our center and 545 older adults overall through our different initiatives.
Care Center
We serve the communities of Engativá (Main Center: 64C Street #123-23, Engativá Pueblo), Suba, Soacha, and Usaquén.
