In Cartagena, barber culture runs deep — it’s more than a trade; it’s a symbol of style, identity, and community. These spaces have the power to become sources of hope for local youth, inspiring them to open businesses rooted in values, ethics, and social responsibility.
With the support of young local entrepreneurs, we offer barbering courses designed for at-risk youth. The goal is simple but powerful: young barbers who have already succeeded train others to follow the same path. Together, we empower them to create sustainable businesses through seed capital, technology, and entrepreneurship tools.
Goals:
a. Promote self-sustainability and job creation by establishing ethical, high-quality barbershops within their communities.
b. Encourage personal growth — learning “through the mirror” from mentors who lead by example.
c. Keep young people off the streets, offering them purpose, discipline, and dignity.
d. Strengthen the social and economic fabric of the neighborhoods they call home.This initiative transforms barbershops into beacons of hope — places where skill meets purpose, and every haircut tells a story of change.
