In 2016 we discovered that thousands of boys and girls drop out of school because they do not have a notebook to write down their knowledge.
Seeing this reality, we decided to believe in education as a tool for social transformation. Through a triple impact model: economic, environmental and social, what began as a dream in which we sold notebooks to deliver school supplies, became a social company with the capacity to transform in a sustainable and collective way, from the co -creation and the courage of conviction, the reality of many territories through high-impact education programs.
Today Educambio has benefited more than 50,000 boys and girls, and since then we know that change is possible, and is achieved through quality education.
Educambio is a dream made into a notebook, held by the hands of the boys and girls of Colombia.
Our purpose is sustainable social transformation through the delivery of quality educational opportunities in vulnerable communities.
We work for children and we are committed to quality education through sustainable and environmentally conscious projects. We believe that education is the most powerful tool to continue building the possible country and walk towards the dream world.
We are a multidisciplinary team, ready to transform social realities.
Together we are Strategy + Innovation + Communication + Creativity + Empathy.
Our motivation? The dreams of thousands of children in Colombia.
Our quality education programs have allowed us to benefit +50,000 boys, girls and young people from vulnerable rural and urban communities in Colombia, guaranteeing access to scholarships, libraries, school supplies and highly innovative training processes.
We finance the delivery of educational opportunities through the sale of corporate and commercial ecological stationery products, and with the support of allies who join the change and believe in education as a driver of social transformation.
We give a second life to used books to produce new school supplies and deliver libraries in communities without access to connectivity. Our stationery products made from sugarcane bagasse and recycled paper save 20% water, save 7% energy and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 7%.
