She works for this cause from Mar\u00eda Josefina, a social company of which she is the founder, promoting the economic empowerment of female entrepreneurs who operate in contexts of poverty, violence and vulnerability. She firmly believes that giving women access to opportunities will contribute to building a better society, since women have an impact multiplier effect. Currently, in addition to Mar\u00eda Josefina, she is also an advisor to social impact initiatives developed by students from the University of Monterrey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Madhav<\/strong>: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">founder of\u00a0 Green the Gene, as a small environmental club in his school when he was 8 years old. Today, Green the Gene is one of the world\u2019s largest completely youth-led environmental non-profits, with over 7,000 young volunteers and projects in 62 countries.

His work has received extensive international recognition, including from the Prime Minister of India, World Bank, The Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust, singer Akon, and Audi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Mar\u00eda del Mar:<\/strong> She is 28 years old, a proud Colombian woman and also a lawyer. She became a mother when she was 18 years old, in a complicated scenario, but that little baby brought with him what her vocation is today. As you can imagine, her biggest fear was presented for the first time when she knew she would be a mother. It was easy to overcome this because she had the support of her husband, her family and friends. It was because of them that she decided to create the Soy Oportunidad Foundation. Her team started making donations for mothers living in poverty in Bogot\u00e1, but over time, she understood that I would never solve the real problem through donations. Only work allows a woman to get ahead, so she decided to create a job training and life projection program focused on these women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Omar: <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an Entrepreneur and activist with experience in both for-profit and not-for-profit sectors.
