GeoPark benefits more than 5,000 students in Putumayo with supplies to school locations.

With the aim of strengthening learning environments and contributing to the reduction of the school dropout rate, through the ‘Works for Taxes’ mechanism and through its subsidiary the new Amerisur, GeoPark began delivering supplies to school restaurants in more than 160 locations of institutions and educational centers in the municipality of Puerto Guzmán, in Putumayo.

Thanks to the coordinated work with the Ministry of Education, the Government of Putumayo, the Mayor's Office of Puerto Guzmán, and the support of the Agency for the Renewal of the Territory, the Company invested more than 4 billion pesos that
will benefit more than 5,000 students in the municipality.

Ivette González, Sustainable Development Coordinator of GeoPark, stated, “we are pleased to be allies of education in Puerto Guzmán, we recognize that the well-being of children and adolescents is fundamental to forging a future of opportunities. Today we express our gratitude to the National Government for allowing us to be part of this initiative, and to the Government of Putumayo and the Mayor's Office of Puerto Guzmán for their leadership in promoting initiatives that contribute to building a more just, equitable, and inclusive society.”.

For his part, Edison Mora, Mayor of Puerto Guzmán, stated, “thanks to the authorities that make this initiative possible and to the private companies that want to invest their taxes in this way. We have many needs, and this type of action allows us to benefit our population, our students.”.
