JuanFe focuses on improving the living conditions of teenage mothers living in poverty. In 2017, All For One Foundation partnered with JuanFe in Cartegena de Indias, Columbia, in support of helping children born to teenage parents. The partnership focused on vulnerable children and adolescents living in extreme poverty and contributed to an increase in attendance in school and increased nutritional support.

In 2020, AFO reunited with JuanFe to support the program, which now offers full support of participating teenage girls between ages of 15 to 19.  The “360 program” currently includes 800 teenagers, 800 children younger than 15, and 2,400 family members. The 360 program offers an education program providing technical training and soft skills, psychological care and personal empowerment, prevention of pregnancies, sexual and reproductive health and family planning, and food security. Currently, the program has 1,800 people providing psychological care, personal strengthening, maternal care, preventative recommendations, and sexual and reproductive health and rights. The academic program has more than 90% attendance and a 0% dropout rate.
