HELP BUILD THE FUTURE OF AFRO-LATINO COMMUNITIES

Together, we can preserve our heritage, empower our children, and strengthen our communities.

Every movement begins with a single step.

Cimarrones USA was founded with one simple belief:

Every Afro-Latino child deserves to grow up knowing that their history matters, their culture is beautiful, and their identity is something to celebrate.

Our organization was created to preserve Afro-Latino heritage, strengthen cultural identity, create educational opportunities, and empower communities through education, leadership, culture, and service.

But before asking anyone to believe in our mission...

We believed in it ourselves.

Our first community initiative

In 2026, Cimarrones USA organized its very first community initiative in Barranquilla, Colombia.

Together with an incredible group of volunteers, local leaders, and community partners, we created a day filled with joy, learning, cultural pride, games, school supplies, and hope.

Children laughed.

Families gathered.

Volunteers served.

A community came together.

It reminded us that meaningful change doesn't begin with large budgets.

It begins with people who care.

Why we need your help

That first event was only the beginning.

Today, we are building something much bigger.

Your support helps us continue developing programs that preserve Afro-Latino heritage while creating opportunities for children and families.

With your donation, you help us:

• Expand Pequeños Cimarrones, our educational initiative for children.

• Provide books, school supplies, and educational materials.

• Organize cultural and community events.

• Preserve Afro-Colombian and Afro-Latino history and traditions.

• Support leadership development for future generations.

• Strengthen Cimarrones USA so we can continue serving communities in both Colombia and the United States.

Every contribution helps turn today's ideas into tomorrow's opportunities.
