In an increasingly interconnected and digitized world, civil society organizations play a crucial role in building a more inclusive and equitable future. Since our founding in 2006, we have sought to be a leader in promoting social development capabilities through the use of technology, innovation, and cooperation. Today, as we celebrate this important milestone, it is time to reflect on the impact we have made and reaffirm our commitment to the positive transformation of communities in Latin America, the Caribbean, and around the world.
Since our inception, Makaia has worked tirelessly to bridge the digital divide and promote equal access to the opportunities offered by technology. Through training programs, social entrepreneurship initiatives, and innovation projects, We have impacted more than 47,000 organizations and around 105,000 people of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds., enabling them to develop key digital skills to thrive in the digital age.
One of the fundamental pillars of our work has been collaboration. We firmly believe in the power of joining forces with other organizations, companies, and entities to maximize our impact and address complex social challenges in a comprehensive manner. Thanks to strong strategic alliances, we have been able to expand the reach of our initiatives and generate innovative solutions that positively impact people's lives.
Makaia's social impact is reflected in every success story that emerges from our communities. From the young entrepreneur who has launched their own digital business to the woman who has found employment thanks to the skills acquired in our training programs, each achievement is a testament to the transformative power of technology when combined with a people-centered approach.
Looking ahead, we are committed to continuing to be agents of change and adapting to the emerging challenges facing our society. In an increasingly complex and dynamic world, technology will continue to be a key tool for inclusion and development. We will continue to expand our initiatives, reach new communities, and develop innovative solutions that address the changing needs of today's world.
Our vision is a world where all people, regardless of their background or circumstances, have access to the opportunities offered by technology and can develop their full potential. A world where innovation and cooperation are the drivers of social progress. With this horizon in mind, we will continue to work with passion and dedication to make this vision a reality.
In Makaia's 19 years, we have learned that true impact is built day by day, with perseverance, creativity, and a deep commitment to our mission. We are grateful to all the people, organizations, and partners who have been part of this journey, and we invite you to continue collaborating with us in building a more inclusive and sustainable future for all.
