The proposed Civil Society Organization is called "Worthy Life" and aims to combat poverty and inequality in Latin America. It will provide vocational training to marginalized groups, teaching skills like masonry, handicrafts, and cooking. Trainees will learn construction, electricity, carpentry, sewing, and cooking techniques. The organization intends to partner with existing training centers and organizations in Mexico and Latin America to deliver its workshops. It will measure its success by tracking increases in trainees' household incomes over time.

Civil Society Organization Proposal

Sustainable Development Goal: No Poverty

How does poverty in Latin America affect the rights of its
inhabitants?

The Sustainable Development Goal that is being worked with is
No Poverty, being the first on the list of SDGs according to the
United Nations. With the corresponding target, number 1.4: By
2030, ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor
and the vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources, as
well as access to basic services, ownership and control over
land and other forms of property, inheritance, natural
resources, appropriate new technology and financial services, including microfinance.

The Civil Society Organization proposed will be called “Worthy Life” in which we are going
to qualify people who are in extreme poverty from different marginalized regions in Latin
America (regularly they are ethnic groups that live in high mountains) to generate value
through a occupation such as masonry, handicrafts, saddle makers, textiles, among others,
and then teach them how to manage their finances to avoid losses in income. By generating a
decent life for people in marginalized regions, poverty and social inequality are combated.
All this is possible through concentrating trainers with expertise in different areas of a
sectoral analysis, where the following occupations coexist:

● Basic designs of common construction areas. This workforce is useful, so that in the
same rural areas, they can go from houses made from unsafe materials to concrete
houses, and they can migrate to construction companies with average knowledge of
construction (they learn to read a plan, take basic measurements, and so on.)
● Electricity.- Generate semi-specialty labor in said trade.
● Carpentry.- Generate semi-specialized labor in said trade, and they can still function
independently in furniture making.
● Seamstresses.- To certify the workforce of women in workmanship and sewing.
● Cooks.- Create half-kitchen workshops, with procedures, and knowledge of rich and
healthy cooks.

It is intended to achieve alliances with training centers that already exist in Mexico through
CONALEP, UANL between others, in Latin America to achieve an alliance with World
Vision, and through the hiring of personnel with proven experience in these fields.

Helping others is not only giving, it is providing, through creating an expansive system of
talent development not exploited. For them, we will do a vocational test, to verify that the
participant is in the area that corresponds to him, I firmly believe that giving is generating
resources and skills, with this we will give value to their best heritage, which is their natural
capacity that every human being has, and with this, we will create identity in each individual.

Through obtaining lost government funds, seed capital, and through donations from private
companies in kind or money, and from international funds through the OECD (Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development). The promotion is through a geolocation of
marginalized areas, in the different countries that the project is intended to develop. It is
going to be validated through two previous visits, where certain parameters of economic and
social vulnerability are tested. If the leader of that population is captured, that has convening
power. If it is verified by testing, social marginalization, and the support of a social and
political leader is sought, for facilities to carry out the workshops. In Mexico we register with
the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare, as a training entity, to be able to issue a certificate
at the end of each workshop, which can endorse and verify the trainee who meets the
requirements to perform a certain job, and the contractor has that guarantee that generates
labor savings, by having qualified people.

Each person who develops in our workshops completes some commitments that after 2 years
of experience must return in free hours of training to other people, as a multi-line work
system. One of the effective ways to validate that the proposed system is successful is to
create a database of the populations to be developed, where there is a historical data of per
capita income per family, before potentiating what has been commented, and measure it
every year, if the income per capita rises by 20% we have achieved the sustainability of the
project.

According to Battiston et al. (2013), although percentages differ dramatically between

nations (between 58% in rural El Salvador and 3% in urban Chile), income deprivation is in
the center of the list of deprivations in every nation. The last demographic group that was
chosen was working women. They were taken into account because women already tend to
have a lower salary than men when they are both doing the same kind of work, and when
they are struggling with poverty, their income is even lower. According to Boesten (2003),
Peru's government used women's reproductive abilities for economic advantage rather than to
advance gender equality. Since no structural changes were implemented, these programs of
poverty relief and reduction maintained and strengthened the precarious position of
impoverished women and their families. As we observed, for instance, in the literacy and
monolingualism issues, these policies effectively deployed and enforced gender, ethnic, and
class hierarchies. The government leveraged the value that grassroots women placed on
motherhood for a variety of reasons to exert control over and influence over the women's
labor and votes. Many women claimed that they worked so hard in the numerous social
programs that they seldom saw their children. Even the revaluation of women as mothers
failed.

It has a great impact, since living and being originally from Mexico, where extreme poverty
is seen in the very streets, of people who come down from the mountains, makes us aware
and reminds us at all times that there is a great need not covered by politicians and it is where
the ODS must join efforts and potentialize results. Being able to develop the problem and
generate a practical, viable and sustainable solution of what is intended to limit, there are
many NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations), with aid purposes, but few with providing
skills to generate resources.
