OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM

KEILY ZUNIGA

Co Founder & CEO
Born and raised in Cartagena’s 20 de Julio community. Education helped me overcome challenges that remain in our community and still prevent our children from improving their lives.
This is our time to give back and provide life-changing opportunities for a better future.
DANIEL MORALES

Co Founder & Chair of Board
As a Servant Leader and member of the 20 DE JULIO FOUNDATION, I am honored to help and serve my community.
I truly believe in our foundation’s mission, and we are committed to making a positive change for the youth and our people.
DR. KELLY HAYES

Co Founder & Sr. Director of Education
Investing in education for children in need is not just a gift; it's a powerful catalyst for change. It's the key that unlocks doors, transforms futures, and breaks the cycle of poverty.
Join us through our foundation in building bridges to knowledge, one child at a time.
CARLUI BROWER

Director of Education
The passion I have for learning and progressing has taken me to places I never imagined and I want to cultivate that seed of passion in others so they can become a better version of themselves.
Education is the best pathway I know to success and we all deserve a chance to succeed in life.
