Newsletter January 2022
2021 was a year full of challenges,
learning and dreams for aeioTU.
The return to presence filled our hearts with hope and a great illusion of being able to look our children in their eyes again, contemplate their smiles, embrace their fears and accompany them once again on the adventure of exploring the world.
It was also a year to embrace the challenges that a complex context in early childhood leaves us. The return has been marked by new gaps in coverage, quality and socio-emotional status of children. A scenario that should bring together all the actors in society around early childhood culture.
It was a year of teamwork. We managed to manage alliances with various national and international actors such as: IOM Colombia / USAID, Hilton Foundation, SURA, ENEL, UNICEF Mexico, Roundglass, CONAFE Mexico, Color Foundation of Colombia, Gratitude Foundation, Serranía Foundation, BBVA and Education to share, to continue transforming the lives of millions of children in the world.
Our team vibrated with each challenge, grew and became stronger, thus consolidating new innovative proposals to expand our impact to 464,296children, 790,974parents and caregivers, 25,816educators and 3,771 kindergartensand educational centers.
