In 2019, The Fashion Report revealed through its diversity report that while 38.8% of the models chosen to runway shows in New York, Milan and Paris were non-white, plus-size models accounted for 0.69% of the total number of models participating in runway shows in the season prior to the report's publication, while only 0.77% were transgender or gender non-binary models. While great strides have been made in recent years to make the fashion industry more diverse, this data shows that there is still plenty of room for improvement.
For many years, the fashion industry has inspired millions of people to pursue creative and artistic careers. Girls and boys all over the world watched in awe as supermodels walked the runway and wore the most beautiful clothes ever created. However, it has never been a secret that this industry is one that, for many years, favored an archetype of beauty to which very few people have been able to adhere.
Taking into account the reality of the industry, and with the mission to contribute to make it a more inclusive industry, on August 22, 2023 Atelier Group Models was born in the city of Bogota, Colombia. A project led by the Cali natives Johana Zapata García and Cristian Belalcázar, and framed under the concept of "Cultural Teaching" and with the objective of integrally forming "Models of People" through a learning plan framed in ethical values, physical and emotional well-being, true inclusion, artistic and cultural education that delivers to the fashion community professionals fully prepared, competent, specialized, full of self-esteem, gift of Being, service and personal empowerment.
"I came with a vision of having an academy where we would train models of people before training models of fashion, runway and photography models. I came with that vision where we could open the doors to anyone who had the dream of being a model (...)" mentions Johana about the motivation with which she started the project.

En el 2019, The Fashion Report dio a conocer por medio de su reporte de diversidad que, si bien el 38,8% de las modelos escogidas para desfilar en Nueva York, Milán y París no eran blancas; las modelos de tallas grandes representaron un 0,69% del total de modelos que participaron en pasarelas en la temporada anterior a la publicación del reporte, mientras que solamente el 0,77% correspondía a modelos transgénero o de género no binario. Si bien en los últimos años se han logrado grandes avances para volver a la industria de la moda una más diversa, estos datos demuestran que aún hay un espacio muy amplio para poder mejorar.
Por muchos años, la industria de la moda ha inspirado a millones de personas a perseguir carreras creativas y artísticas. Niñas y niños de todo el mundo observaban con admiración la destreza y glamur con la que supermodelos caminaban por una pasarela y lucían las prendas más maravillosas jamás creadas. Sin embargo, nunca ha sido un secreto que esta industria es una que, por muchos años, favoreció un arquetipo de belleza al cual muy pocas personas se han podido adherir.
Teniendo en cuenta la realidad de la industria, y con la misión de aportar para convertirla en una industria más inclusiva, el 22 de agosto del 2023 nace Atelier Group Models en la ciudad de Bogotá, Colombia. Un proyecto liderado por los oriundos de Cali Johana Zapata García y Cristian Belalcázar, y enmarcado bajo el concepto de “Enseñanza Cultural” y con el objetivo de formar integralmente "Modelos de Personas" mediante un plan de aprendizaje enmarcado en valores éticos, bienestar físico y emocional, inclusión verdadera, enseñanza artística y cultural que entrega a la comunidad de la moda profesionales íntegramente preparados, competentes, especializados, llenos de amor propio, don de Ser, servicio y empoderamiento personal.
“Yo venía con una visión de tener una academia donde formáramos modelos de personas antes que formar modelos de modelos de moda, pasarela y fotografía. Yo llegué con esa visión donde pudiéramos abrirle las puertas a cualquier persona que tuviera el sueño de ser modelo (...)” menciona Johana sobre la motivación con la que inició el proyecto.
De acuerdo a la información del DNP (Departamento Nacional de Planeación) Colombia ha destinado tan solo 2.7 billones en el año 2023 para detener la acción climática, lo que convierte esta tarea en un verdadero desafío para quienes buscan minimizar el impacto ambiental, dejando en evidencia que los recursos destinados a la protección ambiental son limitados debido a diferentes problemáticas como pueden ser la falta de recursos o baja inversión a causa de la poca importancia que se le da al medio ambiente.
Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior; SAFITCH nace como una empresa de soluciones ambientales enfocada en innovar servicios y gestionar proyectos de gran calidad e impacto para los diferentes sectores económicos del país y que estos logren encontrar estrategias de una manera sencilla y guiada.
Holman Sánchez, es un ingeniero ambiental visionario y apasionado que demuestra que las ideas no tienen límites cuando se trata de ayudar al planeta, para su Cofundador “SAFITCH, es una empresa verde, una empresa de innovación ya que a partir de nuevas alternativas somos capaces de reincorporar residuos en cadenas productivas y en nombre de las industrias que nos entregan los residuos realizamos programas para dar vida”

According to information from the DNP (National Planning Department), Colombia allocated only 2.7 billion Colombian pesos in 2023 to combat climate change, making this a significant challenge for those seeking to minimize environmental impact. This highlights the limited resources directed towards environmental protection, due to various issues such as lack of funding or low investment resulting from the perceived lack of importance placed on the environment.
Given this context, SAFITCH was established as an environmental solutions company focused on innovating services and managing high-quality, impactful projects for different economic sectors in the country, helping them find strategies in a simple and guided manner.
Holman Sánchez, a visionary and passionate environmental engineer, demonstrates that there are no limits when it comes to helping the planet. For its co-founder, "SAFITCH is a green company, an innovation company, as through new alternatives we are capable of reintegrating waste into productive chains, and on behalf of the industries that provide us with waste, we implement programs to give it new life."
At the heart of Rumah Stroberi’s success is its unwavering vision to use education, agrotourism, and community empowerment as a platform to educate the next generation about sustainable farming and environmental conservation.
The farm’s guiding principle is SDG No.1, no poverty through community empowerment, and SDG No.4, which focuses on education through sustainable practices. Every visitor who steps foot onto the farm is invited not just to pick strawberries but to adopt and care for their very own plant. Through this hands-on experience, Rumah Stroberi fosters a deep connection between people and the land, instilling a sense of responsibility for the environment. As the strawberries grow, so does the awareness that our actions have a direct impact on the world around us.
Only 1% of the water on Earth is drinkable and is at risk of pollution. This is aggravated both by industries and individuals using household cleaning products that contain toxic substances harmful to human health and aquatic ecosystems.

Poverty is one of the most serious problems facing the entire world and has become a priority on the agendas of all countries. Approximately 7% of the world's population lives in poverty, concentrated in the African continent where 48% of people in the sub-Saharan region live with less than $2.15 a day; This is equivalent to almost half of the population, making these numbers alarming.
Eswatini is one of these countries, it has a population of 1.2 million inhabitants where more than 60% live below the poverty line, accompanied by an unemployment rate of 25% that grows year over year. Additionally, the country has an HIV infection rate of 27%, the highest in the world according to the UN. As a consequence of this problem, young people die in the productive stage, leaving their children in the care of the community and/or elderly grandparents, contributing to the increase of poverty.
Despite the alarming numbers, Claudia Castellanos found the opportunity to start Black Mamba in 2010 and created a company that benefits the rural community by generating opportunities that help mitigate the country's poverty rates.
================================================
La pobreza es una de las problemáticas más graves que enfrenta el mundo entero y se ha convertido en prioridad en las agendas de todos los países. Aproximadamente el 7% de la población mundial vive en situación de pobreza concentrándose en el continente africano donde el 48% de las personas ubicadas en la región subsahariana viven con menos de 2,15 dólares diarios; esto equivale a casi la mitad de la población lo que hace que esta cifra sea alarmante.
Eswatini es uno de estos países, cuenta con una población de 1.2 Millones de habitantes donde más del 60% vive bajo la línea de pobreza, acompañado de una tasa de desempleo del 25% que crece año tras año. Adicionalmente, el país cuenta con un índice de contagios por VIH del 27% siendo el más alto del mundo según cifras de la ONU. Como consecuencia a esta problemática, los jóvenes mueren en etapa productiva dejando a sus hijos a cargo de la comunidad y/o abuelos de edad avanzada, contribuyendo al aumento de la pobreza.
A pesar de las cifras alarmantes, Claudia Castellanos encuentra la oportunidad de comenzar Black Mamba en 2010 y crea una empresa que beneficia a la comunidad rural generando oportunidades que ayudan a mitigar los índices de pobreza del país.
Work-related stress and job insecurity are growing problems in Colombia, as evidenced by studies from the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Long work hours, reaching up to 46 hours a week spread over six days, combined with a lack of flexibility and precarious conditions in many sectors, negatively affect the physical and mental well-being of employees. This situation results in decreased motivation, high staff turnover, and low productivity in Colombian companies.
Eugenia Trujillo, Manager of Well-being, Development, and Sustainability, states that “It is time to think more about our workers, learn to understand their needs for the constant innovation of our work, allowing us to give that vote of confidence, as we have earned it throughout the company.”
Productive processes must change their management of monotony and seek simplicity in certain tasks, which allows for an analysis of operational effectiveness during unproductive times. Grupo Hada exemplifies the current issues faced by Colombian workers with an innovative proposal, showing that more work does not necessarily mean better results.
===========================================
El estrés laboral y la precarización del trabajo son problemas crecientes en Colombia, como lo evidencian estudios de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) y la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). Las largas jornadas laborales, alcanzan hasta 46 horas semanales distribuidas en seis días, junto con la falta de flexibilidad y condiciones precarias en muchos sectores, afectan negativamente el bienestar físico y mental en los empleados. Esta situación resulta en una disminución de la motivación, alta rotación de personal y baja productividad en las empresas colombianas.
Eugenia Trujillo, Gerente de Bienestar Desarrollo y Sostenibilidad afirma que “Es el momento de pensar más en nuestros trabajadores, aprender a entender las necesidades para la innovación constante de nuestro trabajo, permitiendo dar ese voto de confianza, como nosotros nos lo hemos ganado a lo largo de la empresa”
Los procesos productivos, deben cambiar su gestión en la monotonía y buscar la simplicidad de ciertos procesos, esto permite analizar la efectividad operativa para la empresa en sus tiempos improductivos. Grupo Hada logra ejemplificar con una propuesta innovadora, la problemática actual de los trabajadores colombianos, indicando que, a mayor trabajo, no significa mejores resultados.
In developing countries, millions of people walk miles every day to meet basic needs, such as attending school, receiving medical care, and bringing home essential supplies like food and medicine. “Survey data from eight countries in Sub-Saharan Africa showed that people from households in areas experiencing internal disputes over water walked on average 66 minutes to collect water, compared to 30 minutes in areas without such conflicts” (UN Women, 2023).
Moreover, transportation accounts for about a quarter of global carbon dioxide emissions. In some countries, transportation is one of the most significant contributors to an individual’s carbon footprint. “Using a bicycle instead of a car for short trips would reduce travel emissions by around 75%” (Our World in Data, 2023). “Recognizing these needs and the tremendous transformative potential of bicycles, World Bicycle Relief and Buffalo Bicycle were created,” adds Johanna.
==============================================
En los países en vía de desarrollo, millones de personas caminan kilómetros cada día para cubrir necesidades básicas, como asistir a la escuela, recibir atención médica y llevar insumos a casa como provisiones y medicinas. “Datos de encuestas de ocho países en el África subsahariana muestran que las personas de hogares en áreas con disputas por el agua caminan en promedio 66 minutos para recolectar agua, en comparación con 30 minutos en zonas sin este tipo de conflicto” (ONU Mujeres, 2023).
Por otro lado, el transporte representa alrededor de una cuarta parte de las emisiones mundiales de dióxido de carbono. En algunos países, el transporte puede ser una de las fuentes más determinantes en la huella de carbono de un individuo. “El uso de la bicicleta como medio de transporte, en lugar de un automóvil para viajes cortos, reduciría las emisiones de los viajes en aproximadamente un 75 %” (Our World in Data, 2023). “Siendo conscientes de estas necesidades y del gran potencial transformador de las bicicletas nace World Bicycle Relief y Buffalo Bicycles” dice Johanna.
Only 16% (1,200 tons per day) of the waste generated by the city is reused, while the remaining 84% is deposited in landfills or contaminates rivers, wetlands and other ecosystems. (Greenpeace and the Mayor's Office of Bogotá).
The generation and treatment of waste is a global concern. In the report: 'Waste 2.0: A global overview of solid waste management to 2050'; carried out by the World Bank, it was determined that in 2016 2.01 billion tons of garbage were generated throughout the planet.
According to the same study, the outlook is not very encouraging and by 2050 garbage production will have grown by 70%, this means that citizens of the world will generate 3.4 billion tons of waste per year. In this sense, it is imperative that preventive measures are taken to carry out the comprehensive management of solid waste.
The situation in Bogotá is not different, the city generates 7,500 tons of waste every day. Thanks to citizen awareness and the work of more than 22 thousand professional recyclers, nearly 1,200 tons are repurposed, which is equivalent to 16% of total waste.
In this regard, ELE de Colombia participates in the mitigation of this problem through the re-incorporation of waste. Using the recycling process and production of pencils and other materials, they are able to recover 0.4% of unused waste. (Interview with Caracol TV account executive).
================================================
Únicamente el 16% (1.200 toneladas diarias) de los residuos generados por la ciudad son aprovechados, mientras que el 84% restante se deposita en rellenos sanitarios o contamina ríos, humedales y otros ecosistemas. (Cita: GreenPeace y Alcaldía de Bogotá).
La generación y el tratamiento de residuos es una preocupación global. En el informe: 'Los desechos 2.0: Un panorama mundial de la gestión de desechos sólidos hasta 2050'; realizado por el Banco Mundial, se determinó que en el 2016 se generaron 2.010 millones de toneladas de basura en todo el planeta.
El panorama no es muy alentador, según el mismo estudio, para el 2050 la producción de basuras habrá crecido un 70%, esto significa que los ciudadanos del mundo generarán 3.400 millones de toneladas de desechos al año. En este sentido, es imperante que se tomen medidas preventivas para realizar la gestión integral de residuos sólidos.
La situación en Bogotá no es diferente, la ciudad genera 7.500 toneladas de residuos cada día y, gracias a la conciencia ciudadana y la labor de más de 22 mil recicladores de oficio, se logran aprovechar cerca de 1.200 toneladas, que equivalen al 16%.
En este sentido, Ele de Colombia participa de la mitigación de este problema a través de la reincorporación de residuos mediante el proceso de reciclaje y producción de lápices y otros materiales, recuperando un 0,4% de los residuos no aprovechados (Cita: entrevista ejecutivo de cuenta Caracol Tv).
Globally, precarious employment and labor exploitation remain critical issues. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), over 1.6 billion workers, approximately 47% of the global workforce, are in informal employment situations, lacking access to basic labor rights. In developing countries, this figure is particularly alarming. The OECD reports that sectors like agriculture, mining, and construction are most prone to abusive working conditions, with low wages, long hours, and no social protection. In some nations, up to 70% of workers face vulnerable conditions, especially in regions with limited access to formal employment alternatives.
In La Guajira, Colombia, the situation is particularly dire. Not only does it face high unemployment rates —reaching 21.8% in 2024— but also a severe crisis of labor precariousness. The region has an unemployment rate of 14.9%, the second highest in Colombia, reflecting the lack of access to formal and dignified jobs. Indigenous communities, such as the Wayuu, Arhuacos, and Wiwa, are particularly vulnerable, often forced to work in abusive conditions, especially in illegal mining, where exploitation, low wages, and lack of labor protection prevail. According to DANE, approximately 62% of workers are in informal jobs, exacerbating social exclusion and poverty in the region.
In sectors such as mining and agriculture, long hours and the absence of basic rights are commonplace, forcing workers to accept dangerous and abusive labor conditions. This perpetuates cycles of exploitation that affect the entire region, especially the most marginalized communities who lack access to jobs that guarantee them a dignified life.
To address this problem, Hotel Waya and its partners have worked to offer a sustainable alternative, creating formal employment and training the local population. As Carolina, the hotel’s Sustainability Director, mentions, "Our goal is to empower local communities by providing them with dignified job opportunities that foster their development and that of the region as a whole."
=============================================
A nivel mundial, el empleo precario y la explotación laboral siguen siendo problemas críticos. Según la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT), más de 1.600 millones de trabajadores, aproximadamente el 47% de la población laboral global, se encuentran en situaciones de informalidad, sin acceso a derechos laborales básicos. En países en desarrollo, esta cifra es especialmente alarmante. La OCDE señala que sectores como la agricultura, la minería y la construcción son los más propensos a condiciones laborales abusivas, con salarios bajos, jornadas largas y sin protección social. En algunas naciones, hasta el 70% de los trabajadores enfrentan condiciones de vulnerabilidad, especialmente en regiones con escaso acceso a alternativas laborales formales.
En el caso de La Guajira, Colombia, la situación es especialmente grave ya que no solo enfrenta altas tasas de desempleo —las cuales alcanzaron el 21.8% en 2024— sino también una grave crisis de precariedad laboral. La región tiene una tasa de desocupación del 14.9%, la segunda más alta de Colombia, lo que refleja la falta de acceso a empleos formales y dignos. Las comunidades indígenas, como los Wayuu, Arhuacos y Wiwa, son especialmente vulnerables, viéndose obligadas a trabajar en condiciones abusivas, especialmente en sectores como la minería ilegal, donde predominan la explotación, los bajos salarios y la falta de protección laboral. Según el DANE, aproximadamente el 62% de los trabajadores están en empleos informales, lo que agrava la exclusión social y la pobreza en la región.
En sectores como la minería y la agricultura, es común que las largas jornadas y la falta de derechos básicos sean la norma, obligando a los trabajadores a aceptar condiciones laborales peligrosas y abusivas. Esto perpetúa ciclos de explotación que afectan a toda la región, especialmente a las comunidades más marginadas, que no tienen acceso a trabajos que les garanticen una vida digna.
Para enfrentar este problema, el Hotel Waya y sus socios han trabajado para ofrecer una alternativa sostenible, creando empleo formal y capacitando a la población local. Como menciona Carolina, la Directora de Sostenibilidad del hotel, "Nuestro objetivo es empoderar a las comunidades locales, brindándoles oportunidades laborales dignas que fomenten su desarrollo y el de la región en general."
