Clubes de Ciencia Mexico (CdeCMx) is a non-profit organization that seeks to encourage Mexican students to pursue professional careers in STEM. We have designed and implemented a blended model of STEM education through hands-on workshops, called Clubes and online courses, named MiniMOOCs. The Clubes and MiniMOOCs target high school and undergraduate students. They are designed for students to learn theoretical and practical aspects at the frontier of multiple topics in STEM. The curriculum of each Club and miniMOOCs is developed by a team of young scientists from the most prestigious universities and research institutions in Mexico and the USA. Each year during the summer we carry out our week of Clubes de Ciencia in multiple cities in Mexico in partnership with multiple institutions. Our miniMOOCs are available to everybody through our online platform.

Our mission is to provide sustainable access to safe water and sanitation for the most vulnerable communities in the Sierra. With access to clean water, we can impact four key areas: Health, Hunger, Education, and Poverty. The first article of our charter clearly stated that our purpose is: "Fight hunger, malnutrition, diseases, lack of work opportunities, poverty in general, in population from vulnerable economical background especially in indigenous communities, respecting their culture and human dignity". The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. The 17 Goals are all interconnected, and in order to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve them all by 2030. We are aligned and work directly with: Goal 6: Ensure access to water and sanitation for all However, we aim to indirectly contribute to Goal 1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere, Goal 2: Zero Hunger, Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages, and Goal 15: Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss. We empower communities to be responsible of their access to water and get a chance to step out of poverty. We improve life conditions by improving health conditions, reducing hunger, and giving more opportunities to focus on school and work. In CAPTAR, A.C. we aim to accompany our beneficiaries in attaining self-sustainability and self-sufficiency. We assist indigenous communities so that they need no help from, or interaction with, others or institution to have access to clean water. We train them on water care, we show them how to build their own rainwater recollection system and we provide them with the materials that will last for more than 30 years. Our beneficiaries become self-sufficient and empowered. With access to clean water and new construction skills, they can better their condition and overcome poverty.

Violence and the threat of violence prevents ordinary people from exercising their full range of human rights. In many countries around the world, there is widespread impunity for torture, arbitrary executions, and other grave violations. Human rights and international humanitarian law violations are frequently committed or facilitated by state officials using specialist law enforcement and security weapons, equipment, and techniques. At the same time, key stakeholders lack sufficient information about these tools and their impact on people's rights. Without more information, oversight will continue to be insufficient, accountability unobtainable, and the trade in these weapons and equipment will remain largely unregulated. In response, the Omega Research Foundation investigates and exposes the global manufacture, trade, procurement, testing, and use of law enforcement and security weapons, equipment, and techniques, as well as related human rights and international humanitarian law violations. We provide expert analysis and policy proposals to strengthen national, regional, and international controls and share our specialist knowledge with key stakeholders, including through training, briefings, capacity building, and technical assistance. Omega's work empowers a wide range of actors with the knowledge needed to provide effective oversight and advocate for change. We work with international and regional institutions, state institutions and political figures, NGOs and human rights monitors, journalists, judges and other legal professionals, private entities, unions, and law enforcement agencies. In doing so, Omega helps to ensure that controls related to the manufacture, trade, procurement, testing, and use of weapons, equipment, and techniques are human rights-compliant; that these controls are effectively implemented and monitored; and that those who perpetrate violations are held to account. Omega's work contributes to four of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 5 (Gender Equality), 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
