Socioeconomic inclusion: an opportunity against poverty

Thousands of people live in extreme poverty

Nearly 700 million people live in extreme poverty, a heartbreaking reality that demands an urgent response: socioeconomic inclusion.

More than 258 million children do not have access to school, missing the opportunity to build a future full of possibilities. In addition, thousands of people, especially women, face a lack of decent jobs, preventing them from securing a life full of opportunities.

Access to quality education and decent work is the key that can change thousands of lives.

Creating opportunities with socioeconomic inclusion

To fight inequality, all people must have the same opportunities. To achieve this, we promote socioeconomic inclusion from early childhood through adolescence and youth. How do we do this?

We work to remove barriers that prevent access to education, employment and entrepreneurship, empowering people in vulnerable situations and providing them with the necessary tools so that they can participate fully in the development of their communities.

In addition, we promote inclusive market systems that favor an economic dynamic that facilitates the integration of young people into the labor market and entrepreneurship.

Testimonials

Eiren, beneficiario de Ayuda en Acción en los proyectos de Honduras de educación

“What I like most about having new school supplies is that I can go to school every day to study. My dream is to be a pilot and to be able to help my family”.

Eiren, beneficiary

“Many families cannot afford to buy the supplies students need. Many students walk three hours every day. They leave in the afternoon and come back in the morning”.

Cristina, teacher in Bolivia

“I didn't have the opportunity to study. I couldn't afford it. We grew up knowing that the only ones who could work were men”.
