What this is

A real school, with a real address.

Xiruela is the continuing education centre of HIKI, operated by LEX Learning Experience S.A.S., tax ID 901.592.613-2, a company registered in Cali, Colombia. Our programmes are endorsed by the Education Institute of the Colombian Red Cross, Valle Chapter.

We teach in person, in small groups, with a specialist in the room. We are not a platform and we do not sell recorded courses.

What this is not. Under Colombian law this is continuing education. It does not lead to a degree or to an occupational certificate, and we say so on every page of this site.

Where the money goes

It is a purchase, not a donation.

You buy a book and you receive it. The proceeds fund seats in the programme above. We put it plainly because that is how it is structured under Colombian tax law, and because a purchase and a donation are not the same thing.

Seats go to people identified through an open needs assessment we run after the earthquake. Nobody has to prove hardship to a committee.
