Bogotá (Colombia), 06/11/2026, Sr. Nidya Nayibe Núñez Álvarez.- For several years, the Province of Bogotá, faithful to the charism and within the framework of the processes of Renewal of the Missionary Presence, has sought to respond in an organized manner to the situations of the most vulnerable. As a result of this search, in June 2022 the Marie Poussepin Center Foundation was created. Through the formulation and development of social and entrepreneurial projects, the Foundation channels resources destined for this population and carries out the corresponding follow-up to ensure their sustainability over time, promoting people from the Gospel in the style of Marie Poussepin: wherever there is a Sister of the Presentation and vulnerable or at-risk persons, the Foundation is present. It is not a separate organization, but a means of support for the mission of the Province.
