Helping people in Colombia | ASB Foreign Aid

In recent decades, social and economic conditions in Colombia have improved significantly. Despite existing political and economic inequalities, the country has developed into an emerging economy. Despite the peace agreement, however, conflicts continue to uproot the population. Colombia is the main host country for more than seven million refugees from Venezuela, who often face discrimination due to their migration status.
