The Foundation “Empresarios por Colombia” (FEC), (Entrepreneurs for Colombia) was established on March 4, 2004, as the realization of the dream of Claudia Patricia Acosta and John Mauricio Escobar Latorre Jimenez, a working marriage devoted to generating social change and progress in Colombia. The two are committed to organizing charity projects aimed at social interest and common progress. FEC directs its efforts, human resources, technical and financial support in the creation and effective implementation of production programs to generate incomes for small and medium-size entrepreneurs. That is why ORIGINES was born, a company that is dedicated to promoting, exhibiting and selling Colombian products inside and outside the country. ORIGENES is working towards increasing productivity in Colombia, projecting its national identity, contributing to the rise of a strong economy and encouraging the development of cultural goods with high export potential. In addition to its business projection, ORIGENES is focussed on helping small artisan communities and small businesses and communities that produce high quality Colombian products.
