Civic House aims to gather a community of initiatives that use technology for social change, striving to make the Latin American region more equitable.

Since 2017, Ada ITW has been committed to reducing the gender gap in the tech world by providing technology training to women and assisting them in their job integration process. Over the past seven years, we have trained more than 30,000 women, nearly 60% of whom are now employed in the IT sector. We offer a range of courses and bootcamps in technology, along with payment ease programs and full scholarships for women and femininities who cannot afford these courses. We collaborate closely with hundreds of social organizations in the region to facilitate job placement. As our training is delivered virtually, our reach is regional, only limited by language barriers. I would also like to note that the financial statements and legal documentation we will present belong to Civic House (RES NON VERBA), while the annual budget we will share pertains to Ada ITW internally.

The Asociacion Protectora de Animales (A.P.A.) "El Refugio" was founded on December 2, 1998 and is a non-profit Civil Association that assists a population of 360 dogs and 40 cats. These animals arrive at this institution victims of accidents, serious diseases, old age and the most varied situations of mistreatment and abandonment. Once they are recovered, they are vaccinated and spayed or neutered and then given up for responsible adoption. Currently we have an average weekly intake of ten puppies and four adult dogs. Our mission is that all animals can find a family, but the reality is that many of these dogs and cats will never be adopted since they are left with sequelae, are many years old, blind, handicapped, etc. For these reasons, El Refugio is the only home that many of them will ever know and we work daily to give them the best quality of life possible. Over the years we have developed a series of strategies that allow us to take on this daily challenge, taking into account the responsibility we have with the animals under our care and in our community: Volunteer Program: They are a team of highly committed, dedicated and solvent volunteers who work on an honorary basis in the different activities of El Refugio (repairs, cleaning, walks with our dogs, socialization, among others). Space is limited. Godparents Program: aimed at those people who, although they cannot adopt, take responsibility for one or more of our animals by contributing a special fee for their needs. Educational Outreach Program: since the beginning, educational campaigns and guided tours for children and adolescents from different educational centers have been carried out, and we are in the process of developing a more ambitious educational project that will include teachers, teacher training students and the general public in order to deepen the awareness work related to animal rights, animal welfare, responsible ownership, adoption, etc. Adoption campaigns: these are fundamental pillars in raising awareness about responsible animal ownership and the importance of adoption. These campaigns are organized throughout the year and at various locations in Montevideo. Spay/neuter campaigns: we perform low-cost spay/neuter campaigns, as well as assist in spay/neuter campaigns in several other locations in Montevideo. We also spay/neuter as many animals as possible in the area, often free of charge since El Refugio is located in a critical neighborhood. Attention at the door: we offer first aid, vaccination and deworming at low cost or even free of charge to urgent cases in the area. Intervention, confiscation, and veterinary assistance in serious cases: in addition to assisting animals under our care, we also help by providing assistance and transfers for animals in the area when the owners cannot really afford it

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.
