Cleo's mission is to improve social projects to reduce inequality and poverty levels. Cleo uses its team's diversified experience to design and implement socially concerned initiatives. Although the panel is wide, Cleo has become specialized in projects focusing on women's empowerment, young leadership, gender equality, social pedagogy, child protection, and human rights. Cleo also leads initiatives that provide comprehensive support to women survivors of gender-based violence, including psychosocial care, access to protection services, and pathways for economic reintegration. These programs are developed in close collaboration with local communities and aim to strengthen resilience, autonomy, and social participation. Cleo is managing a teenager empowerment project in several of Barranquilla's poorest suburbs. Using urban arts as a way to develop creative and critical thinking skills, it provides teenagers with an alternative to the drug business dilemma. Another project aims at helping parents raise their children by offering pedagogical and psychological support, promoting positive parenting and family well-being.
The primary mission (as it currently exists) of Abba's House Children's Center, a non-profit center, Cien Fuegos, Dominican Republic is to provide medical, nutritional, educational, social, emotional, psychological, and Christ-Centered spiritual care for orphaned, abandoned, or otherwise needy children living in extreme poverty in Cien Fuegos, Dominican Republic. We are committed to providing a safe environment to enhance each child's wellbeing. Prior to the opening of this Center, these children would: Scavenge for items in the city dump that they might be able to sell to help their families or for food that is consumable; Wander the streets with no shoes and sometimes with no clothing; Become victims of sexual or work exploitation; Suffer early pregnancies; Suffer from malnutrition, vitamin deficiencies and diseases; Have no access to vaccinations and even the most basic health care; Drink unclean, water; Join gangs for familial connections and then engage in criminal activity. Our further hopes are to (1) provide free healthcare for Cien Fuegos residents who currently have no access to medical services (2) provide jobs to area residents in our educational, medical, and vocational sub-centers (3) empower underserved and vulnerable individuals via jobs and training via economic viability and self-sufficiency (4) improve the quality of life of children and adult residents while fostering a sense of responsibility for the local community ***NOTE: The primary purpose of this GlobalGiving Initiative is to create a FREE medical clinic for the citizens of Cien Fuegos and to provide a Vocational Education Program at the Center where the older children can learn trades. Neither of these initiatives will be associated with religious training or indoctrination of any kind. These services will be objective, non-religious services.
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.

At Fundacion Entrepreneur, we work every day to "be the social actor that leads Learning by Playing in Latin America". "We seek to develop the competencies in our children and young people, that will become the best version of themselves and develop in the 21st century" Eight years ago there were three troublesome problems that were in our heads: What would happen if all people learned to undertake and be an entrepreneur?, What would happen if we were all financially literate, balancing our well-being and money?, What if we had fewer social myths and a mayor sense of citizenship and belonging? Common problems, which are in everyone's life, but which are not all carrying burden. Thus, in 2012, the chilean company Momento Cero (Mo.0), who has spent 15 years making learning and innovating always entertaining, through the creation of various tools to carry out the Learning by Playing methodology, saw the need to generate social impact initiatives, thus giving rise to our Entrepreneur Foundation, an independent, non-profit organization. We felt in love with the challenges linked to this specific problems, because we believe they are the individual mobilizing motors of freedom and necessary to create, finance and implement dreams and projects that are a contribution to the common good. How do we put this into practice? We develop, implement and evaluate school programs that promote the use of educational board games in the classroom, focusing on students between 12 and 18 years old. We address relevant topics for current challenges: entrepreneurial talent, financial literacy, social sense and citizenship. Along with this, we co-developed the book "Playful mindset: to create, educate, undertake and innovate", where we share our know-how. Why Learn by Playing? Because if there are emotions, there is learning. And if that learning has an educational intention to provide tools to our young people, even better! We know that the Learning by Playing methodology generates emotions, fosters self-confidence, develops divergent thinking and reduces stress, which increases learning, thus developing in children and young people the skills that will allow them to become the best version of themselves in this century. We know that our challenge is not easy and we have a long way to go, but we are committed to enhancing the talent of each person, contributing to the formation of integral human beings, according to the challenges of the 21st century.
