Our mission is to be the guiding light that develops, connects, concentrates and propagates STEM Education exponentially in Latin America. STEM is a global trend that promotes the teaching of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics as pillars for sustainable development and social well-being, developing scientific and mathematical thinking with a focus on innovation. STEM recognizes that creativity and the development of socio-emotional skills are key to promoting an involved and globally responsible citizenship, that is why it encourages interaction with other disciplines such as the arts, business, philosophy or humanities: STEAM / STEAM + H / STEM + E, among others. STEM proposes learning based on problem solving and develops future skills with a social and inclusive vision. Movimiento STEM+ is the civil association that inspires and engages key actors to promote high-impact STEM Education initiatives in order to close gaps and solve the great challenges of humanity. It is the highest representative body of the Ecosistema STEM+ and an initiative endorsed by Global STEM Alliance and STEM Learning Ecosystems. We have impacted more than 9 million people in the region.

Every day, lives are changed by a single, selfless act - the gift of organ donation. Among those waiting for transplants are 2 groups of people: those who die waiting and those who receive the gift of life. Our work raises awareness of the urgent need for organ and tissue donors while helping recipients who have overcome the impossible to live life to the fullest. These individuals have faced life's greatest challenges; they are advocates for the cause but need resources, education and community. Transplant recipients have a unique opportunity to advocate for organ donation and raise awareness. Physical activity plays a crucial role in the recovery and long-term health of recipients. When recipients compete in world events, they demonstrate to the world what can be achieved through the gift of organ donation. Additionally, our programs provide recipients with community, tools, and resources to address the many challenges they face, leading to an increased quality of life. The WTGF promotes amateur sport amongst recipients, living donors and donor families; promoting the study of transplantation; educating the public and raising awareness of the world shortage of donor organs; sharing new knowledge from biological/clinical studies; promotion of mental and moral improvement for recipients, living donors and donor families; fostering international friendship and relations.

En La Poderosa, el cambio lo lideran las personas mas afectadas por la exclusion. Todas las iniciativas son disenadas, implementadas y evaluadas por los propios residentes. No prestamos servicios, sino que desarrollamos capacidades para que las comunidades sean plenamente duenas de sus soluciones. Nuestros valores guian la forma en que nos organizamos, decidimos y actuamos: Las asambleas vecinales autogestionadas impulsan todas las decisiones. Los miembros de la comunidad hablan por si mismos, como portavoces, promotores de salud o fundadores de cooperativas. En toda America Latina, vecinos y voluntarios se unen para defender los derechos y mejorar la vida cotidiana. La solidaridad y el respeto impulsan todo, desde comedores populares hasta centros culturales, cooperativas y escuelas. La Poderosa es un laboratorio de alternativas construidas por la comunidad. Desde cooperativas de economia solidaria hasta presupuestos participativos, estamos probando modelos que desafian los sistemas extractivos y reimaginan como se puede organizar la sociedad.

Oxfam is a global movement of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn't inevitable. It's an injustice which can, and must, be overcome. We're dedicated to building a just and safer world focusing on people's rights. We're passionate about ending poverty and helping to rebuild the lives affected by it. It's an enormous undertaking but we also have people on our side - talented and committed partners, volunteers, supporters and staff who share the same values. We aim to save lives by responding quickly with aid and protection during emergencies, empower people to work their own way out of poverty and campaign for lasting change. We have been saving and changing lives for seventy years now and know that tackling poverty is only possible when we are helping people to secure their fundamental human rights - the right to life and security, the right to a sustainable livelihood, the right to essential services, the right to be heard and the right to equity (in particular, the rights of women). We work at all levels - global and local, with international governments and global institutions, local communities and individuals - to make sure that these rights are protected and that the best solutions to people's suffering are implemented. Our values as an organisation are founded upon our experiences. We know that poverty can only be overcome once the fundamental human rights of impoverished others are secured and our three main values as an organisation - empowerment, accountability, inclusiveness - reflect this. Empowerment - our approach means that everyone involved with Oxfam, from our staff and supporters to people living in poverty, should feel they can make change happen. Accountability - our purpose driven, results-focused approach means we take responsibility for our actions and hold ourselves accountable; we believe that others should also be held accountable for their actions. Inclusiveness - we are open to everyone and embrace diversity; we believe everyone has a contribution to make, regardless of visible and invisible differences.
