Caring to Transform: Youth, Health & Environment

En la Fundación SiFuturo trabajamos en la prevención del VIH con jóvenes de la comunidad desde un enfoque integral que va más allá de la información: promovemos el autocuidado y el cuidado del otro como principios fundamentales para la vida en sociedad.

Hablar de prevención es también hablar de aceptar la diferencia, de la no discriminación, del respeto por la autodeterminación y los derechos. Significa reconocer la igualdad entre los géneros, establecer límites saludables, rechazar la violencia en todas sus formas y decir no a cualquier tipo de sometimiento. Creemos firmemente que cada individuo tiene un valor inmenso y la capacidad de tomar decisiones que transforman su vida y su entorno.

A medida que profundizamos en este trabajo, se hace evidente la conexión entre el cuerpo y el entorno. El cuidado, entonces, se expande: del yo al otro, y del otro hacia la naturaleza.

Gracias a la alianza con Rapiterra, y con el valioso apoyo de Fundación Akuo (iniciativa del grupo internacional Akuo Energy, comprometido con la transición energética y el desarrollo sostenible)  junto con GlobalGiving, hemos fortalecido este enfoque incorporando una nueva dimensión ambiental a nuestros talleres de prevención del VIH.

Como resultado, desarrollamos una exposición educativa compuesta por 14 pósters dirigidos a la comunidad y a instituciones educativas. Esta propuesta invita a reflexionar sobre el cuidado en todas sus dimensiones: personal, social y ambiental.

Este póster que compartimos es una muestra de ese esfuerzo colectivo.

A nuestros donantes y aliados: gracias por hacerlo posible. Su apoyo no solo fortalece procesos educativos, sino que impulsa transformaciones profundas en las personas, las comunidades y su relación con el entorno.


English Version

At Fundación SiFuturo, we work on HIV prevention among young people in the community through a holistic approach that goes beyond information: we promote self-care and care for others as fundamental principles for living together.

Talking about prevention also means embracing difference, promoting non-discrimination, and respecting self-determination and human rights. It involves recognizing gender equality, setting healthy boundaries, rejecting violence in all its forms, and saying no to any form of domination. We firmly believe that every individual is inherently valuable and capable of making decisions that transform their lives and their surroundings.

As we deepen this work, the connection between the body and the environment becomes clear. Care, therefore, expands: from oneself to others, and from others to nature.

Through our partnership with Rapiterra, and with the generous support of Fundación Akuo (an initiative of the international renewable energy company Akuo Energy, committed to sustainable development) together with GlobalGiving, we have strengthened this approach by adding an environmental dimension to our HIV prevention workshops.

As a result, we developed an educational exhibition consisting of 14 posters designed for communities and educational institutions. This initiative invites reflection on care in all its dimensions: personal, social, and environmental.

The poster we are sharing is one example of this collective effort.

To our donors and partners: thank you for making this possible. Your support not only strengthens educational processes but also drives meaningful transformation in individuals, communities, and their relationship with the environment.
