Corporación Sumemos Por Un Casanare Sostenible

La Corporación Sumemos (Sumemos) is a nonprofit organization based in Casanare, Colombia, dedicated to advancing sustainable development, social inclusion, and gender equality in marginalized communities. Through education, training, and public policy advocacy, the organization empowers women and promotes economic and territorial development across the region.

With the support of our Giving Joy grant, Sumemos will launch a specialized pollination training program aimed at closing the technical and gender gap in oil palm farming. This initiative will train rural women in pollination techniques, enhancing both crop productivity and their employment opportunities. By equipping participants with practical, hands-on skills, the program will help improve the livelihoods of women and their communities, while contributing to sustainable agricultural practices. Through this work, Sumemos hopes to inspire greater gender equity in the oil palm sector, traditionally dominated by men, and empower women to play a central role in advancing local economies.
