Commitment
with our communities

G4-DMA INDIRECT ECONOMIC IMPACTS, LOCAL COMMUNITIES

True to our roots, we have endeavored to generate social inclusion in the communities where we operate in.

Fundación Gentera is the organization leading the social responsibility efforts of Gentera and its subsidiaries. In order to achieve its objectives, participation of our employees is essential, since it is them who contribute with proposals and donations that allow us to provide value to different causes.

Moreover, the foundation works to raise the awareness of our employees and communities about the social problems in the country. With this, we encourage a culture of donation in support of education, while providing humanitarian aid during natural disasters, volunteering actions and periodic initiatives to encourage participation.

Thus, there were three main objectives in the development of the platform:

• Research and study of education models and contact by digital means
• Finish the contents for the development of social-emotional competences
• Prove that the contents and the platform work (i.e. it is useful, entertaining and technically efficient)

G4-DMA LOCAL COMMUNITIES (SPECIFIC)

2015 ACHIEVEMENTS:

• We attended three congresses on the subject of gamified education and technology, as well as one about social inclusion of young people by digital means
• We finished the contents of social-emotional development competences in a lab with the participation of 15 children of clients between 13 and 21
• We built a contact platform by means of a gamified mobile application that manages content, works from the cloud, and stores detailed participant information in a data base

CONCLUDED THE 15 HOURS
OF PLATFORM DURATION

In 2016 we will focus on having a second mobile application within the same platform; its objective will be to bolster the development of hard competences to raise the rate of entrepreneurial success of young people. We will strive to attract the children of Compartamos Banco clients (between 18 and 22) in order to include them in an entrepreneurial process that will provide them with a self-employment option that will take into consideration their surroundings and the new digital tools available to them; the resulting project must be viable and life-impacting.

Furthermore, we have the goal of taking the experience of developing Misión Incluso this year to schools, and using it as a free vocational workshop to impact a greater number of Compartamos Banco’s branches.
