Our History
Horizons Projects with the Community is a non-for-profit organization, founded in 1994 in Bogotá, Colombia.
After 25 years of extensive work and recognition for our approach, methodologies and results, we decided to open operations in Australia, since part of the leadership and advisory team reside here and we see great opportunities to contribute to the community in this country.
