United Way against school dropouts

United Way Colombia is born in 2020, through the merger of Fundación Génesis and Fundación Dividendo por Colombia, social organizations with over 18 years of history in our country, working to eradicate school desertion and improve the quality of education. They now join forces and use their shared expertise to guarantee better education for children and keep them in school, securing for them an education based on their needs, by focusing on work with educators and innovation.

As allies of Primero lo Primero, United Way Colombia intends to consolidate a Quality and Innovation Network that allows for the development of 21st century skills among education agents. In turn, they approach the advancement of social-emotional skills with their La Vuelta al Mundo program, and they connect innovation processes with the dynamics of each ecosystem that they provide with methods for mobilization.
