Fundación ACHE

Fundación ACHE (Arte, Cultura, Historia y Educación) is a nonprofit organization based in Barranquilla, Colombia, dedicated to helping children and young people develop their talents and build purposeful lives. It uses arts, cultural education, and community support to promote well-being, strengthen social ties, and create safe spaces for expression. Its work includes theatre and dance activities, youth mental health education, bullying and violence prevention, emotional skills, leadership, and connections to the history and traditions of the Caribbean region and Barranquilla’s Carnival.

The foundation’s programs include ¿Y Qué Harías Tú?, which uses theatre to address bullying; Guacherna Rollers, combining art, sport, and Carnival; and Habla y Te Sanas, focused on youth well-being and mental health. Other initiatives include Fantasmas del Silencio, described as a hopeful thriller, and urban art projects that challenge stigma. ACHE also participates in local cultural events and works with partner organizations to expand its community impact. Through these services and creative projects, the foundation aims to inspire young people, nurture talent, and support positive change.
