The Kimntrum Foundation was created with the belief that social development and innovation based on scientific research are the best ways to improve the levels of social equity and well-being in our country.
Our mission is to promote social equity and well-being through research, development and social innovation in the areas of education, health and work, in order to reduce social inequity.
Our vision is to become an institution that is recognized on national and international level for carrying out research, development and social innovation aimed at improving the levels of social equity and well-being.
We are a group of professionals from the areas of health, humanities and social sciences with experience in research and development, as well as work with communities and the public sector. Some of our activities are the development of plans, programs, projects, seminars, congresses, publications, courses, campaigns, events, fairs, workshops, training programs, public awareness campaigns and sanitary, legal, financial, administrative and technical assistance; obtaining of funding to develop our activities, either from individuals or national, foreign or international institutions; as well as working in cooperation with other public or private entities through proposals, agreements or other forms of collaboration, in order to fulfill our foundational goal.
