Avina Americas Inc

Programs: Migration: avina americas joined forces with open society foundations, ford foundation, and fundacion avina to form the central america and mexico migration alliance (cammina). Cammina's main objectives are to promote sustainable regional migration and policy reforms through coordinated national and local awareness raising efforts, advance and protect the human rights of migrants, and support local development in migrant sending areas so that migrants have a viable option to stay in their communities of origin. These efforts will strengthen international migrant networks in becoming operationally and financially sustainable, improve the framework for protecting human rights among countries in the region, and create models for the productive investment of remittances in communities of origin.

technology for social change: to increase citizen participation, co-construction practices, and public-community partnerships through the use of civic technologies and open data in order to accelerate social change in latin america and the achievement of the sustainable development goals.

recycling: there are millions of latin americans who make their living by recycling. Despite their history of environmental and productive contributions to society, they continue to live in social exclusion and work informally, suffering economic exploitation. To achieve a vision for inclusive recycling, avina works to promote separation and differentiated collection, to formalize the work of recyclers through the recognition and restitution of labor, social, and human rights, and to ensure fair compensation for the service that recyclers provide.
