At Impacto Digital, our mission is to harness innovative technology to address concrete human rights challenges and catalyze systemic transformations. We identify and scale highly effective community solutions through technological advancements, benefiting thousands of people. Our organization was founded in 2016 on the conviction that innovation and technology are powerful tools to transform reality and ensure the full exercise of human rights. Since then, we have established ourselves as a leading nonprofit organization in creating technology-driven solutions aimed at resolving urgent social challenges. Our unique approach has enabled the implementation of programs and projects that address various areas of work, positively impacting Argentina and Latin America. One of our flagship program is Contrata Trans, that has the mission to overcome the systemic exclusion and discrimination that transgender and non-binary (TNB) individuals face in the job market. We achieve this through several key strategies: 1. Technology-Driven Solutions: Our platform, www.contratatrans.org, connects TNB job seekers with inclusive employers. This user-friendly website allows TNB individuals to create profiles showcasing their skills and aspirations, while employers committed to diversity can post job openings and search for suitable candidates. This digital interface helps break down traditional recruitment barriers, offering a safe, supportive environment for TNB job seekers. 2. Comprehensive Training Programs: We provide targeted training for both job seekers and employers. For job seekers, our training covers resume writing, interview skills, and workplace rights, enhancing their marketability and confidence. For employers, we offer workshops on fostering inclusive work environments, addressing unconscious biases, and implementing non-discriminatory policies. This dual training approach ensures that TNB individuals not only gain employment but also thrive in these environments. 3. Network of Inclusive Employers: We actively build partnerships with a broad network of companies, public entities, and institutions committed to diversity and inclusion. With over 440 companies in our network, Contrata Trans enhances job opportunities for TNB individuals in supportive workplaces, promoting their retention and professional success. 4. Advocacy and Awareness: We engage in advocacy to heighten awareness about the challenges TNB individuals face and the advantages of inclusive hiring practices. Our public campaigns, workshops, and collaborations with other organizations spotlight these issues, aiming to foster systemic change and reduce societal discrimination against TNB individuals. 5. Community-Led Leadership: Our initiative is led by TNB professionals, ensuring that our strategies and programs are deeply rooted in the community's experiences and needs. This leadership structure not only provides relevant guidance and support but also positions TNB individuals as capable leaders, contributing to cultural shifts toward acceptance and inclusion. Contrata Trans is more than a job placement service; we are a movement towards inclusivity and equity. Our mission encompasses several key areas: 1) Empowerment: We empower TNB individuals by providing them with the tools, resources, and support needed to navigate the job market successfully. 2) Visibility: We increase the visibility of TNB professionals in various industries, challenging stereotypes and biases that contribute to discrimination. 3) Support Systems: We build strong support systems within workplaces to ensure TNB individuals feel safe, valued, and respected. 4) Economic Independence: We promote economic autonomy for TNB individuals by facilitating access to stable and fulfilling employment opportunities. 5) Policy Advocacy: We work towards policy changes that promote non-discrimination and inclusivity in workplaces at local, national, and international levels. 6) Community Engagement: We engage with the broader community to foster understanding, acceptance, and support for TNB individuals. We envision a world where TNB individuals have equal opportunities in the job market, free from discrimination and bias. We aim to: - Expand Our Reach: Grow our network of inclusive employers and increase our presence in different regions and industries. Influence Policy: Advocate for policies that enforce non-discrimination and promote diversity and inclusion in workplaces. - Foster Cultural Change: Work towards a cultural shift where diversity is celebrated, and TNB individuals are valued for their contributions to the workforce. - Sustainable Impact: Ensure that the changes we make are sustainable and lead to long-term improvements in the socio-economic conditions of TNB individuals.

Sustainability that humanizes: three dimensions that transform poverty: We want people to get out of poverty. That is our truth. A certainty that we do not intend to stop stating in this way. At least we do not want to give up saying it, that is our food for the journey. But we also know that this enormous burden of hope and dreams contains a great challenge that has to be embedded in reality to find concrete ways of realization. We know that entering into the field of poverty itself is an exercise that requires all our energies; in many cases, work in contexts of vulnerability is frustrating and has huge rates of failure. We are also aware that around the world of poverty there are many interests (political, media, cultural, economic) that make it extremely difficult to trust the real human being before us, who is experiencing poverty, and that this conditions the proposal and the response to initiatives that seek concrete solutions. However, we fully believe that it is possible to initiate processes of change. We know this because there are many initiatives that have been successful (this inspires us), because we trust in the path we have taken through our own personal experiences of working in poverty, and because we have started a reflective process that resulted in a concrete proposal. The inequality gap continues to grow in the world, we do not need to reflect statistics since they are easy to find. But thinking specifically about Argentina we want to point out a particular characteristic that we will try to address: in many cases poverty is related to the countryside and the city. That is, the 2010 census showed that the rural population is the one that is growing the most in the country (in terms of birth rate) but since agribusiness significantly reduces the space for mobility and exploitation of the land, almost half of the peasantry must leave their homes to live in the outskirts of large cities, thus changing their lifestyle completely and becoming marginalized from society. This is the tragic fate that has been suffered by the majority of the country's poor. This is why we seek to respond to poverty in both urban and rural areas. We have become sensitive to both contexts, knowing that if we work in rural areas we help reduce the number of urban poor tomorrow. And we are also certain that addressing urban poverty is responding to the rural displaced of today, or of some past generations. Our approach will be through three dimensions that we consider key to providing effective solutions to the problem of poverty and misery: Governance, Circular Economy and Territory. We will develop them below. These three dimensions must be framed within a horizon of sustainability. That is, the processes that will be initiated have to be permeated by a strong imprint of durability, they have to be sustained over time. In this way, people will gain autonomy and stability. We feel that poverty dehumanizes and that getting out of poverty is recovering humanity. Discovering our humanity makes us less poor. Becoming more human offers us a horizon of remuneration in accordance with our aspirations. And fair compensation opens the doors for us to own what is ours, to be what we are. Mission "We build bridges so that people in vulnerable and poor situations incorporate skills that offer them alternatives for sustainability" Vision "That more and more poor people generate autonomy and management, building a better quality of life and greater happiness." Values The other is always an equal In the human being there is a potential that can always be developed There is poverty, not poor people Propose, always thinking that it is sustainable Accompany, as long as it is sustainable Intervene, only when it is ecological Cordial treatment and respect Work is always a team effort Always taking care of the environment in everything Aspects related to our way of proceeding It is important to state some situations that may arise along the way to sustain our identity. What "yes" and what "no"? YES Traditional construction Bioconstruction, ecological construction, and recycling. Formal education Technical and artistic training institutions. We coordinate with other entities. NO Give food Deliver clothes Providing medicines We do not provide machinery, tools, etc. if it is not framed within the project and the steps we indicate. We do not manage public assets from our office, we do it with the beneficiaries as our visible face. General guidance to take into account as triggers, to work with people, and that covers the three proposed dimensions. Our community, its ways of living and producing, our territory, our relationships with others, our history, and founding milestones of who we are and who we aspire to be. Threats or weaknesses of our life in the community (external and internal). What aspects of our community need to be improved, how can we produce better, and what aspects of our daily life are difficult or we cannot solve alone? What are our aspirations regarding the products we sell, what could we do together to improve this situation, and what implications do our economic transactions have with the territory in which we live? What do we understand by well-being, what aspects of our living in the territory do we value, and which do not? How could we achieve greater community well-being and strengthen our roots in our place?
