Internal Displacement

The internal conflict in Colombia has left 7.2 million internally displaced people (IDPs). Colombia has the largest number of internally displaced people worldwide, surpassing countries like Syria (6.3 million), Sudan (3.3 million) and Iraq (3 million).

For safety reasons, families fled to large metropolitan areas or nearby towns. However, they faced other challenges such as extreme poverty, labor informality, lack of access to education, health, among others.

In a post-conflict context, many families dream of returning home, but capital and economic opportunities are needed to ensure a dignified and sustainable relocation.
