Homes 4 the Homeless Raises and Donates $72,000 to Support Education and Housing in Colombia

FULTON, CA, UNITED STATES, April 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Homes 4 the Homeless, a U.S.-based nonprofit dedicated to sustainable housing and community transformation, has announced the successful completion of two fundraising campaigns in support of the Trinity Project in Bellavista, Colombia. A combined total of $72,000 USD has been raised and donated—furthering efforts to provide educational access and launch affordable, eco-friendly housing in one of Cali's most underserved neighborhoods.

The funds are being directed to Trinity School, a nonprofit institution educating 272 children from over 70 low-income families in Bellavista. The school has long served as a cornerstone of the community, ensuring that no student is turned away due to economic hardship.

These campaigns were spearheaded by Carolina Ravassa, internationally recognized actress and Executive Committee Member of Homes 4 the Homeless. Her deep personal connection to Bellavista—where she spent summers volunteering with children—has been a driving force in uniting donors, artists, and advocates across borders.

Beyond her work in Bellavista, Ravassa has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to social causes. From assisting in post-Katrina rebuilding efforts in New Orleans to collaborating with Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed in Brazil, to advocating for women's rights globally, her passion for empowerment and education is evident throughout her life's work.

“I am overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone who contributed,” said Ravassa. “This is a testament to what happens when compassion and action come together. These children now have stronger pathways through education—and soon, families will have homes to match that hope.”

Next Phase: A Home for Every $39,000 Raised

As the Trinity Project moves into Phase Two, Homes 4 the Homeless is launching a new initiative to address housing insecurity in Bellavista. In partnership with VESSEL, an innovative modular housing manufacturer, the organization plans to deploy E3 eco-modular homes—compact, transportable living units designed for speed, durability, and environmental efficiency.

VESSEL Housing specializes in designing high-quality, energy-efficient modular homes built for rapid deployment and extreme weather resilience. Their units reflect a new standard in sustainable living solutions.

For every $39,000 raised toward the Trinity Project going forward, Homes 4 the Homeless will donate a brand-new E3 modular home to a family in Bellavista.
These units are energy-efficient, built to withstand harsh weather, and can be rapidly installed in remote or resource-limited environments.

“The Trinity Project beautifully illustrates our global mission—combining education, housing, and dignity. The success in Bellavista proves that, with the right partners and vision, we can replicate this model worldwide,” said Archie Kao, President.
