Many sectors of society are joining forces to support causes that are in favor of Mexican children, and even more so when children are in vulnerable situations.
Many sectors of society are joining forces to support causes in favor of Mexican children, and even more so when this sector is in a vulnerable situation.
The UN 2030 Agenda has the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) , which were adopted in 2015 in 193 countries , including Mexico. Through these objectives, it is intended that by 2030 thousands of children will achieve well-being in every sense: quality education, reduction of inequality, good health and eradication of the poverty in which they live.
In Mexico there are hundreds of initiatives promoted by institutions and companies in favor of Mexican children that recognize the value of childhood in society. Such is the case of Gentera, a company that through its foundation joined the 5th Race Un Kilo de Ayuda , which promotes this organization that ensures the integrity of children. How was it lived? We tell you!
A different volunteering: Gentera Case
Volunteering is that activity that is carried out out of Chile Mobile Number List conviction and without any remuneration, where participants put their time and talent at the service of a cause . The only thing you get is the satisfaction of helping certain causes.
There are different activities where volunteers meet to support sports, environmental, educational, cultural, health or emergency situations.
Various companies promote this activity among their collaborators, promoting significant achievements in the organizational culture of the companies, which serves as an example for more organizations and people interested in the subject.
In Mexico there are vulnerable sectors, one of them is early childhood. According to Unicef and other experts, early childhood is considered up to six years, a fundamental moment in growth because the brain develops significantly. During this stage, boys and girls are recipients of greater influence in their environments and social contexts.
In recent days, Gentera, through the Gentera Foundation, consolidated one of the most important actions within this company: volunteering for early childhood. This was carried out in the 5th Un Kilo de Ayuda Race , in which collaborators develop their physical and social-family part.
It is worth mentioning that Gentera has been a strategic ally in this important race for children for two years and a peculiarity of this year was that the runners and directors of Gentera were included for the first time as volunteers so that 10 children belonging to the Pro Association People with Cerebral Palsy IAP (APAC) will join the race. The leaders of the companies formed pairs to push the special chairs that transported the children with disabilities, who upon reaching the finish line were awarded a medal, like the rest of the runners.
Nearly 700 collaborators from Mexico City participated in this race; 20 of them were directors of the group that promotes financial inclusion in Mexico.
“We are believers that volunteering must be encouraged in the business culture, and employees must be made aware of the social problems that exist in our country.”
mentioned Ayleen cortés, director of the Gentera and Corporate Citizenship Foundation
The strength of a company: the values
These types of actions within the Gentera Foundation are part of the comprehensive development model of Gentera collaborators. Its name is FISEP and, through five dimensions, it promotes the comprehensive development of employees:
Physical

Gentera's comprehensive volunteering
The 5th. Gentera Foundation Race was an event in which the spirit of helping was demonstrated, however, the company and its foundation also have other types of volunteering. All collaborators have the opportunity to participate in them at least once a year. We tell you:
Savings day
As part of financial education, one of the actions that Gentera promotes, is the promotion of savings in boys and girls.
In this activity, volunteers visit primary school students, talk to them about the benefits of saving and build a piggy bank with them to start this financial practice.
Volunteering in work teams
The main objective is for collaborators to get involved with the communities. Here the volunteers from the different Gentera work teams are in charge of choosing a social cause that moves them to provide service, thereby generating agreements, working as a team, integrating, putting their skills into practice, living altruism and coexisting.
Family volunteering
Caring for the environment is essential to have a better future. This volunteering is done as a family and provides a space to teach the little ones to experience service to the community by caring for the environment.
Recently the company adopted two hectares of Nevado de Toluca where volunteers helped reforest them. The Guadalupe Forest, in the State of Mexico, was also intervened.
