Educampo

What Educampo does

Educampo (legally Fundación por una Nueva Solución A.C.) is a Mexican nonprofit foundation founded circa 1965 and headquartered at Matías Romero 102, Col del Valle Centro, Benito Juárez, in Mexico City. The organization promotes sustainable human development for low-income rural families through an education and capacity-building model oriented toward competitive, cooperatively organized enterprises. Its core offering is the Sembradores rural development program — supplemented by Programas de Desarrollo Rural, the Fortalecimiento Humano y Social project, and the Mayan melipona honey (Miel Melipona y Derivados) initiative in Campeche and Yucatán — which together deliver field-based training in sustainable agriculture, cooperative business formation, organic fertilization (e.g., bocashi composting), and women's empowerment.

The foundation serves small rural producers (low-income Mexican farming families, including Mayan women beekeepers and grain/vegetable smallholders) as its primary beneficiary segment, with program execution taking place in at least five Mexican states: Jalisco, Sonora, Sinaloa, Campeche, and Yucatán. Revenue mechanics rely on donations collected through a "Dona Aquí" portal and corporate partnerships, with strategic-tier alliances in place with Bimbo, Engie, and CIMMYT (Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maíz y Trigo). The Regalos con Causa line offers artisanal products (melipona honey and derivatives) as cause-related gifts, providing a complementary commercial-style channel for income generation within the foundation's nonprofit structure.

There is no proprietary technology platform, software product, or AI/ML capability disclosed in the source material; the foundation's distribution relies on direct community engagement via field operations, workshops, and capacity-building sessions, with marketing channels consisting of its website (www.educampo.org), YouTube testimonials, and organic social media. Lorenzo Servitje is identified as the founder, and the entity operates autonomously as a standalone private nonprofit foundation with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds.

Core offering

Educampo is a Mexican nonprofit foundation that delivers education, training, and capacity-building programs to low-income rural families in Mexico to help them form competitive, cooperative enterprises and sustainable productive projects. Core programs include Sembradores (rural capacity building) and Fortalecimiento Humano y Social (human and social strengthening project implemented with Bimbo and CIMMYT in Jalisco, Sonora, and Sinaloa). The foundation also commercializes artisanal products — notably Melipona honey (Xunán Kab) and derivatives produced by Mayan women in Campeche and Yucatán — under the Regalos con Causa gifts program.

Product overview

Educampo is a non-profit foundation (Fundación por una Nueva Solución A.C.) offering a unified set of programs and services for rural development in Mexico. The core offering consists of educational and training programs (Sembradores) that build human, social, and technical capacities in rural communities to create sustainable productive projects. These programs are complemented by commercial product lines including melipona honey and derivatives (Regalos con Causa), which generate income for Mayan producer communities. The foundation also runs specialized initiatives like the Fortalecimiento Humano y Social program focused on regenerative agriculture. There is no platform-plus-modules architecture; rather, Educampo's work integrates educational programs with market access through artisanal product sales.
