Manos Visibles builds transformation ecosystems inside and outside the territory. We transcend prejudices and build bridges between people and organizations. We break down walls to create new relationships and dialogues.

We transform leadership, build capacities, connect opportunities and enhance trajectories to contribute to the transformation of historically excluded territories and populations. 

 
 

We help Colombian leaders grow, so that they can tell their own stories and work towards building a diverse, collaborative and creative future.
