Mission Mundo de Talentos adopts as its mission to contribute to the creation of a generation of young adolescents with social consciousness, who are motivated to continue studying and to contribute to society according to their own abilities. Vision We envision the future with young Mexicans who are motivated and well informed about study and professional related opportunities that exist for them and who they feel safe to make the decisions that affect their own future development. Overall objective The three-year project of Mundo de Talentos contributes to the personal and professional development of Mexican youth, by strengthening their self-esteem, improving their sense of belonging in society, fostering their sense of gender equity and supporting them to make informed decisions about their own future. Mundo de Talentos offers guidance on work and studies through an intensive three-year program that takes place every Saturday. Children between 10 and 13 years of age from different socioeconomic backgrounds are selected to participate. Passionate professionals (volunteer guest teachers) share their work experiences and invite students to learn in a participative manner about possible career opportunities. Classes are held at the project headquarters (the Pequeno Sol school) and through excursions to different work places. The program covers 15 modules over the 3 years that include architecture, arts, design, biology, entrepreneurship, journalism, medicine and many others. To make sure that the program is as effective as possible, the most motivated students are selected. During the three years the students go through different stages of development. They will strengthen their mutual connection, discover new skills and will become more and more familiar with the type of education that Mundo de Talentos offers. In addition, they will reach puberty, may have more responsibilities and will change their interests. The pedagogical and didactic approach of the first, second and third year students, therefore, are different as is the content of the program. The educator establishes the goals for the group at the beginning of the year and discusses them in the first session with the students, so that they form the context for the activities of the whole year.

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.

Telecoms Sans Frontieres (TSF) was founded in 1998 as the world's first NGO focusing on emergency-response technologies. During humanitarian crises we give affected people the possibility to contact their loved ones and begin to regain control of their lives, as well as we build rapid-response communications centres for local and international responders. Thanks to 20 years of experience in the field, our high-skilled technical team adapts and tweaks existing tools to respond to different crises and beneficiaries' needs in the ever evolving humanitarian context. From its early days, the culture of first emergency response has been core to TSF's identity, but we have grown and evolved as the role of technologies in emergencies has expanded. In parallel to this core activity, we also develop, adapt, and make available innovative and cost-effective solutions to assist migrants, refugees, displaced people and other disadvantaged communities in different areas, including education, healthcare, women's rights and food security. TSF is a member of the United Nations Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (UNETC), a partner of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and a member of the US State Department's Advisory Committee on International Communications and Information Policy. Since its creation, TSF responded to over 140 crises in more than 70 countries providing communication means to over 20 million people and nearly 1,000 NGOs. Telecoms Sans Frontieres hereby certifies any project presented on GlobalGiving or funds received by GlobalGiving will be under no circumstances used in countries where United States export or sanction laws are in place such as Syria, Iran, Cuba, and North Korea, or with individuals or institutions subject to U.S. restrictions.
