At RACI, we recognize the value and impact of the work carried out by our member organizations, and one of them is the Hora de Obrar Foundation. During our recent visit, we had the opportunity to talk with their team and gain in-depth insight into their work. With over a decade of experience, the foundation has stood out in promoting sustainable development, gender equity, human rights, and the fight against climate change, contributing to the strengthening of various communities.
Throughout its history, Hora de Obrar has focused on building solid community processes. Through its five fundamental pillars—human rights, children’s and youth rights, gender equality, sustainable environmental development, and humanitarian aid—the foundation drives tangible changes in the areas where it operates. The team shared with us impactful stories and how, through their comprehensive approach, they have managed to make significant improvements in people’s lives.
One of the highlights of the conversation was their ability to collaborate with other civil society organizations (CSOs), which has allowed them to develop collaborative projects and awareness campaigns that not only reach more people but also reinforce the importance of networked work.
We also discussed key issues in the current context, such as the need to strengthen advocacy in coordination spaces and the importance of ensuring access to and exercise of rights in the public sphere. The Hora de Obrar team emphasized the importance of being present in the field, working directly with communities to understand their needs and co-create effective solutions.
Thank you for having us!
