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.

Our mission is a preferential option for the poor in health care. By establishing long-term relationships with sister organizations based in settings of poverty, Partners In Health strives to achieve two overarching goals: to bring benefits of modern medical science to those most in need of them and to serve as an antidote to despair. We draw on the resources of the world's leading medical and academic institutions and on the lived experience of the world's poorest and sickest communities. At its root, our mission is both medical and moral. It is based on solidarity, rather than charity alone. When our patients are ill and have no access to care, our team of health professionals, scholars, and activists will do whatever it takes to make them well- just as we would do if a member of our own families, or we ourselves, were ill.
