Fundacion CIMA (as we are better known) is a non governmental / non profit organisation created in 2002 to disseminate updated information to educate and inform the Mexican people on: early detection, the risk factors and the access to timely treatment in regards to breast cancer. As well to build a community to offer and strengthen the emotional support of patients and their families and care givers.
The foundation`s mission is to support public policies and private initiatives aimed at improving the care of children with cancer, through support actions related to the promotion of the aforementioned information , information on childhood cancer, incidence, social research, social and psychological support that help them to face the disease and improve their living conditions. In order to fulfill this mission, it will seek to expand its coverage to the entire national territory, by creating subsidiaries or correspondents such as offices and commercial establishments or through agreements signed with other non-profit entities, national or foreign in order to contribute its knowledge and expertise in the matter. For the achievement of the above, it will have a solid administrative and financial organization and the use of educational, technological and guidance resources. FOUNDING PRINCIPLE The SANAR Foundation has been from its beginning a work of God, this was specifically expressed in the Act of Constitution of the Foundation, which expresses the will of the founders and consists of a brief declaration signed by 71 people on February 27th, 1985, which reads as follows: Assured of Gods presence and patronage and under the generous reception of those who by our signature here commit ourselves, we, as members of the human family and as Christians, assume the joint responsibility of structuring a non-profit organization whose main purpose will be to help children with cancer and also their families. We will persevere with this purpose until hopefully no child is left without the best option that medicine, according to progress, can offer for the treatment and cure of this disease. We are convinced that God and Colombian society will support us in this endeavor and endorse with our signature the birth of SANAR." This fact is documented in the book "Science has a limit, Love doesnt", published on December 2006 on the occasion of the 20 years of the Foundation, ( a copy of some of the pages of this book are attached, including the prologue written by Father Javier De Nicolo, friend of the Foundation, who rests in eternal life). The President of SANAR, Luis Guillermo Angel Correa has been persistent maintaining this foundational aspect throughout the years. He is a man of faith and experienced firsthand the drama of cancer in his family, always finding God at each stage of the process as he expresses in a valuable testimony that we attach to this document. In the most difficult moments, SANAR has always found a guiding light and has witnessed miracles that have allowed it to continue its work despite the difficulties. Loyal to the will of our founders, an annual day of re-induction has been established in which all the employees of the Foundation participate and the Christian origins of SANAR are remembered, ending the day with a Eucharist to give thanks for the achievements and commend the Lord the resolutions for the New Year and the intentions of our benefactors, collaborators, volunteers and donors.

Violence and the threat of violence prevents ordinary people from exercising their full range of human rights. In many countries around the world, there is widespread impunity for torture, arbitrary executions, and other grave violations. Human rights and international humanitarian law violations are frequently committed or facilitated by state officials using specialist law enforcement and security weapons, equipment, and techniques. At the same time, key stakeholders lack sufficient information about these tools and their impact on people's rights. Without more information, oversight will continue to be insufficient, accountability unobtainable, and the trade in these weapons and equipment will remain largely unregulated. In response, the Omega Research Foundation investigates and exposes the global manufacture, trade, procurement, testing, and use of law enforcement and security weapons, equipment, and techniques, as well as related human rights and international humanitarian law violations. We provide expert analysis and policy proposals to strengthen national, regional, and international controls and share our specialist knowledge with key stakeholders, including through training, briefings, capacity building, and technical assistance. Omega's work empowers a wide range of actors with the knowledge needed to provide effective oversight and advocate for change. We work with international and regional institutions, state institutions and political figures, NGOs and human rights monitors, journalists, judges and other legal professionals, private entities, unions, and law enforcement agencies. In doing so, Omega helps to ensure that controls related to the manufacture, trade, procurement, testing, and use of weapons, equipment, and techniques are human rights-compliant; that these controls are effectively implemented and monitored; and that those who perpetrate violations are held to account. Omega's work contributes to four of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 5 (Gender Equality), 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
