Natacha de Crombrugghe
Uccle (Belgium), January 20th 1994 - Colca (Peru), January 24th 2022
May the light of Natacha enlighten you and lead you to realize your dreams.
The disappearance of Natacha, her story, our story, has upset the young people who like her have a thirst for freedom, travel, self-realization. The strength of our love made us cross oceans and move mountains to find our daughter. But we were not alone. This long quest and this difficult fight, we have led them all together. Your support, your generosity, your solidarity, your encouragement and your prayers have carried us and given us the courage to go all the way.
We have only one word to say to you from the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU.
"Being away from everything brings you closer to the essential".
Eric, Sabine, Michaël, Arnaud and Tanguy de Crombrugghe

Natacha-Colca Fund
In order to perpetuate the memory of their daughter, thank the local population and develop the ties forged in Colca (Peruvian Andes), Natacha's parents created the Natacha-Colca Fund in 2023, within the King Baudouin Foundation.
Thank you to all the donors. The money raised financed a holiday project for 140 children from villages in the Colca. Two weeks of fun, sporting, artistic and educational activities were
organised in collaboration with eight volunteers from the International Voluntary Service (SVI) in February-March 2025.
Find reports on this project on our Facebook page.
The Natacha-Colca fund was closed in November 2025 and the remaining balance was donated to the school in Pinchollo (Colca) for the purchase of school supplies.
