Investing with Impact
TerraBlanca is an impact investment fund which aims to empower the Internally Displaced Population (IDPs) and other vulnerable groups affected by the internal conflict in Colombia.
By building sustainable agricultural business models in rural areas and supporting social enterprises, our objective is to contribute to the development of peaceful and inclusive communities.

Internal Displacement
The internal conflict in Colombia has left 7.2 million internally displaced people (IDPs). Colombia has the largest number of internally displaced people worldwide, surpassing countries like Syria (6.3 million), Sudan (3.3 million) and Iraq (3 million).
For safety reasons, families fled to large metropolitan areas or nearby towns. However, they faced other challenges such as extreme poverty, labor informality, lack of access to education, health, among others.
In a post-conflict context, many families dream of returning home, but capital and economic opportunities are needed to ensure a dignified and sustainable relocation.
Rural Displacement Fund
We have structured a market-based model to empower Internally Displaced Population through land rights.
