Americares Colombia implements a community-based program in which Community Health Workers equip members of host communities—including Venezuelan and Colombian migrants—with essential health knowledge and skills. This initiative aims to promote health and self-care within community settings.

Upon completing the educational cycle, participants receive a diploma as symbolic recognition of their commitment during the workshops. They then become knowledge multipliers, sharing what they’ve learned within their families, neighbors and broader communities.

These workshops are designed by be engaging and interactive, fostering trust, building lasting support networks, and helping to reduce stigmas over time.
