RES NON VERBA ASOCIACION CIVIL (known as Civic House) is an international nonprofit organization that provides a space for creation and collaboration to boost and integrate high-impact civic innovation initiatives, promoting and supporting their sustainability. Civic House aims to gather a community of initiatives that use technology for social change, striving to make the Latin American region more equitable. Within Civic House, there are several initiatives as shown on its website, https://www.civic.house/en. All these initiatives share the same legal personality, as Civic House provides legal, accounting, and administrative support, allowing the initiatives to focus solely on impact. The grant we are applying for, in partnership with 3M under their 3M Impact Post-Project Support, is related to the Ada ITW initiative. Since 2017, Ada ITW has been committed to reducing the gender gap in the tech world by providing technology training to women and assisting them in their job integration process. Over the past seven years, we have trained more than 30,000 women, nearly 60% of whom are now employed in the IT sector. We offer a range of courses and bootcamps in technology, along with payment ease programs and full scholarships for women and femininities who cannot afford these courses. We collaborate closely with hundreds of social organizations in the region to facilitate job placement. As our training is delivered virtually, our reach is regional, only limited by language barriers. I would also like to note that the financial statements and legal documentation we will present belong to Civic House (RES NON VERBA), while the annual budget we will share pertains to Ada ITW internally.

Sustainability that humanizes: three dimensions that transform poverty: We want people to get out of poverty. That is our truth. A certainty that we do not intend to stop stating in this way. At least we do not want to give up saying it, that is our food for the journey. But we also know that this enormous burden of hope and dreams contains a great challenge that has to be embedded in reality to find concrete ways of realization. We know that entering into the field of poverty itself is an exercise that requires all our energies; in many cases, work in contexts of vulnerability is frustrating and has huge rates of failure. We are also aware that around the world of poverty there are many interests (political, media, cultural, economic) that make it extremely difficult to trust the real human being before us, who is experiencing poverty, and that this conditions the proposal and the response to initiatives that seek concrete solutions. However, we fully believe that it is possible to initiate processes of change. We know this because there are many initiatives that have been successful (this inspires us), because we trust in the path we have taken through our own personal experiences of working in poverty, and because we have started a reflective process that resulted in a concrete proposal. The inequality gap continues to grow in the world, we do not need to reflect statistics since they are easy to find. But thinking specifically about Argentina we want to point out a particular characteristic that we will try to address: in many cases poverty is related to the countryside and the city. That is, the 2010 census showed that the rural population is the one that is growing the most in the country (in terms of birth rate) but since agribusiness significantly reduces the space for mobility and exploitation of the land, almost half of the peasantry must leave their homes to live in the outskirts of large cities, thus changing their lifestyle completely and becoming marginalized from society. This is the tragic fate that has been suffered by the majority of the country's poor. This is why we seek to respond to poverty in both urban and rural areas. We have become sensitive to both contexts, knowing that if we work in rural areas we help reduce the number of urban poor tomorrow. And we are also certain that addressing urban poverty is responding to the rural displaced of today, or of some past generations. Our approach will be through three dimensions that we consider key to providing effective solutions to the problem of poverty and misery: Governance, Circular Economy and Territory. We will develop them below. These three dimensions must be framed within a horizon of sustainability. That is, the processes that will be initiated have to be permeated by a strong imprint of durability, they have to be sustained over time. In this way, people will gain autonomy and stability. We feel that poverty dehumanizes and that getting out of poverty is recovering humanity. Discovering our humanity makes us less poor. Becoming more human offers us a horizon of remuneration in accordance with our aspirations. And fair compensation opens the doors for us to own what is ours, to be what we are. Mission "We build bridges so that people in vulnerable and poor situations incorporate skills that offer them alternatives for sustainability" Vision "That more and more poor people generate autonomy and management, building a better quality of life and greater happiness." Values The other is always an equal In the human being there is a potential that can always be developed There is poverty, not poor people Propose, always thinking that it is sustainable Accompany, as long as it is sustainable Intervene, only when it is ecological Cordial treatment and respect Work is always a team effort Always taking care of the environment in everything Aspects related to our way of proceeding It is important to state some situations that may arise along the way to sustain our identity. What "yes" and what "no"? YES Traditional construction Bioconstruction, ecological construction, and recycling. Formal education Technical and artistic training institutions. We coordinate with other entities. NO Give food Deliver clothes Providing medicines We do not provide machinery, tools, etc. if it is not framed within the project and the steps we indicate. We do not manage public assets from our office, we do it with the beneficiaries as our visible face. General guidance to take into account as triggers, to work with people, and that covers the three proposed dimensions. Our community, its ways of living and producing, our territory, our relationships with others, our history, and founding milestones of who we are and who we aspire to be. Threats or weaknesses of our life in the community (external and internal). What aspects of our community need to be improved, how can we produce better, and what aspects of our daily life are difficult or we cannot solve alone? What are our aspirations regarding the products we sell, what could we do together to improve this situation, and what implications do our economic transactions have with the territory in which we live? What do we understand by well-being, what aspects of our living in the territory do we value, and which do not? How could we achieve greater community well-being and strengthen our roots in our place?
