About Juli: Juliana is indigenous of the Embera Katío community, her mother works as a domestic employee. Juliana was previously at our other Home, the Hogar Bohío de María, in the year 2023 with her sister Ana Yibeli. Her mother withdrew them to return to the indigenous community. Most recently, they were in Bogota experiencing instability that led to the girl dropping out of school.

The mother requested the placement because she left the community again a few months ago, she works normally as a maid in a family home and has no other family members who can help her with the care of Juliana and her other two little sisters.

Juliana will begin her studies in the fifth grade of primary school, according to her mother's information, however due to the fact that she has dropped out of school, they are in the process of determining the grade she should resume.

They report that there is a risk of being kidnapped by illegal groups in the community, and they lack the support of their fathers.

Home Duties & Privileges: Juliana is part of the first stage of adaptation, in which she works on the institution's training proposal, the values of obedience and respect, as well as organizational criteria.

She goes out every two weeks to spend time with her mother and two little sisters who are also at the Home.

What happens after I sponsor a child?

Can I adopt a child?

Am I the only sponsor for a child?

No. Unlike most of the other child sponsorship programs, we allow a child to have multiple sponsors. Other sponsorship organizations provide many wonderful services for their children; food, clothing, education. We are a little bit different in that we are operating a Home for these kids and thus also provide them with a place to live, staff to cook food for them them and teachers to educate them.

Can I visit my sponsored child?

What makes The Emiliani Project different from other organizations?

What happens if a child leaves the home?

Many kids at the home are in volatile situations where they may have family members in the area, but are unable to provide for their children. Although we are given guardianship over the children, family members, according to Colombian law, maintain their authority. If a family member arrives to claim responsibility, we are obligated to relinquish the child to them. If this happens, you will be notified and your sponsorship will be moved to a new child, so that you can continue helping children.
