The Opportunity Network is an intensive, six-year program designed to equal the playing field for high-achieving, underserved high school and college students by creating access for them to career opportunities, professional networks and competitive colleges.

Fundacion Nativo is a non-profit organization, located in Caracas (Venezuela), which is dedicated to the socioeconomic and sustainable development of indigenous communities, without having to damage their environment or abandon their cultural or religious beliefs. Always favoring gender equality and integration of different sexual options. Vision: A world in which there is no inequality between the indigenous population and the rest of society. Where the native population is not considered as animals, pets or the disposable object of the fashion of the moment. Mission: Empower indigenous communities by promoting the conservation of their culture, defending the right to land and the preservation of their natural resources, promoting sustainable economic development in gender equality and sexual orientation, favoring access to communication channels to leave the information isolation and giving them a voice before the institutions to demand their rights and denounce the abuses to which they are subjects of. Our history: In 2014, investigating for a documentary, we made a stop in the mining area of Las Claritas. There we went to a brothel where a bingo was being held. The place was full of miners attentive to the draw, something that surprised us because bingo always seemed an activity for older people ... Until we saw the prize ... depending on the sexual orientation of the miner, the prize was a child or Indigenous girl no older than 10 years old, who waited to meet the owner of their destination inside a hole dug in the floor of the premises. When you see something like this with your own eyes, it is impossible to remain indifferent to the problem. We realized that, in this market of basic instincts, we could do little to diminish the demand (the illegal miners come from many countries and for them the Indians are less than animals), but we could have some possibility of diminishing the offer if we helped the development of indigenous communities. And that's how the Fundacion Nativa was born.

The Mbaracayu Educational Center (CEM) is a boarding school that has existed for more than 10 years and was created for young rural and indigenous women between the ages of 15 and 18 from different rural communities of the Mbaracayu Forest Nature Reserve (RBBM), Department of Canindeyu. The educational center focuses on offering quality education based on the learning-by-doing model and currently houses 150 students who have been studying the environmental baccalaureate there for three years. By targeting women exclusively, the aim is to promote equality and eliminate the disadvantage of rural women in access to education. According to the country's guidelines and recommendations, affirmative action is applied because young women in rural areas have few opportunities to attend secondary school. At CEM, students receive training that allows them to succeed and acquire the necessary skills to develop their communities as part of their commitment to the environment and conservation.

The CEM aims to provide these young people with a quality secondary education to increase their chances in the labor market and thus improve their quality of life and that of their families.
