Founders
Our History
The Mentes Soñadoras Foundation was founded by siblings Carolina and Santiago Navia Vásquez, driven by their personal experiences and a desire to inspire other young people towards education, especially those without the opportunity to attend a university. This vision led them to organize an event in a small mining community in the Colombian jungle, where they witnessed firsthand the local needs and academic challenges faced by young people. This event not only transformed the siblings’ perspectives but also motivated them to pursue their mission further.
As a result, they formalized their project, and in 2024, they established the Mentes Soñadoras Foundation. This nonprofit organization now inspires young people to persevere despite the adversities they may face. Thanks to the foundation’s efforts, many young individuals have found the motivation to continue their studies and pursue their dreams, receiving numerous benefits and personalized mentorship for their personal and professional development.
