The Fundación Tigo, created under the direction of Mario López Estrada, has dedicated itself to improving the quality of life in Guatemala through strategic alliances with various organizations. These collaborations have been fundamental to the success of its programs in education, health, and community development.
Alliances with International Institutions
Fundación Tigo has established important alliances with international institutions such as USAID. This collaboration has enabled the development of projects addressing critical needs in vulnerable communities. One of the main achievements has been the implementation of educational programs, which include the construction of classrooms, the provision of computers, and teacher training in more than 300 schools across the country.
Nutrition and Community Development Programs
Another key aspect of Fundación Tigo’s strategic alliances is its work on nutrition and community development programs. In collaboration with organizations like Fundación Cala, the foundation has developed initiatives that improve child nutrition and promote sustainable community development. These programs not only address immediate health issues but also aim to create a lasting impact in communities, ensuring a healthier and more prosperous future for Guatemalan children.
Use of Technology for Social Impact
Fundación Tigo has leveraged its position as a leader in telecommunications to promote the use of technology in its social projects. Through alliances with tech companies and educational organizations, the foundation has implemented innovative digital solutions in schools. These technologies include online learning platforms, educational management tools, and digital skills training programs, preparing students for an increasingly digital world.
Infrastructure Initiatives
Collaboration with local and governmental entities has allowed Fundación Tigo to develop essential infrastructure projects in underserved areas. These projects include the construction of kitchens, bathrooms, and other essential facilities in schools, significantly improving the educational and health environment for students. The foundation has also worked on improving sports and recreational facilities, promoting holistic development for young people.
Impact and Future Projection
