Manifest
At MITZ, we embody our mission and vision in every step, in every alliance and with the women who decide to be part of the transformation. Firmly, we build strong and independent women, challenging social barriers, activating opportunities and the economy in marginalized communities. United, we create a sustainable and equitable future, where women, families and society shine with hope.
PROGRAMS
MITZ 's social transformation model is based on considering empowerment as the ability of women to transform their own reality, that of their families and communities in a positive way.
Our support model is made up of the following programs:
Life skills and productive development.
The combination of these two programs generates a complete transformation in the lives of women and their families. Not only does it provide them with income for greater freedom, but it also allows them to adopt a more conscious mindset around money. Now they cultivate a culture of savings, acquire knowledge about entrepreneurship and, of course, have a broader vision of the dreams they can achieve.
LIFE SKILLS
We work to develop psychosocial skills and interpersonal skills that empower women to make informed decisions, solve challenges, exercise critical and creative thinking, communicate effectively, establish healthy relationships, cultivate empathy and manage their lives in a healthy and productive way.
Over the course of 13 months, workshops, courses and talks are provided where we guarantee the training and acquisition of skills, developing emotionally strong women who will boost their productivity and independence.
The program includes four areas of support and training:
Self, Interpersonal relationships, Finances and Health.
ARTISAN COLLECTIVE
Contributing to the generation of income for women in vulnerable areas, remunerating them fairly for their collaboration by making accessories from the reuse of waste, which are transformed by hand.
We have accompanied women artisans to form a collective in which they are organized around artisanal production. This organization is based on the values of cooperativism: mutual help, responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. They work together and help each other learn craft techniques such as origami, green jewelry, macramé, and weaving. In collaboration with our product design team, we transform discarded materials into functional products.
Financial Education
A fundamental factor to prosper is that women learn to save, generate family budgets and manage their businesses. For this reason we offer workshops on savings, spending and investment, with teaching materials so that they can integrate these new habits into their daily lives.
ENTREPRENEURIAL CULTURE
Our program for entrepreneurs emerged in 2021 with the objective of promoting an entrepreneurial culture in women in urban areas and contributing to the development of skills that allow them to carry out productive activities and generate their own economic income.
The beneficiaries of this program can start their micro business, having creative freedom and with solid foundations to achieve a profitable venture. We facilitate access to seed financing for entrepreneurial projects that are technically and financially viable, but who cannot have access to the commercial banking system.
Our model involves going through three major stages: incubation, then start-up and support for the improvement and growth of your microbusiness; In the latter we make alliances with other social and business actors to ensure the effectiveness of the support
