What Impaktemos does

Impaktemos is a Venezuelan non-profit civil association (AC) headquartered in Caracas, founded in 1983, that operates a portfolio of four integrated educational programs targeting vulnerable populations in Venezuela. Its core programs include the Programa de Educación Formal delivered through Los Samanes schools in Caracas and Maracaibo (with over 20 graduating classes of bachilleres), the Programa de Formación en Oficios delivered through CEFIM in Valencia offering vocational training in cooking, sewing, and elderly care to vulnerable women, the Programa de Voluntariado y Refuerzo Escolar operating across 11 national sites serving 300+ children with weekly reinforcement and 200+ monthly-trained volunteers, and the Programa de Alfabetización Wayúu serving the indigenous Wayúu community in El Palo 1, Zulia. Complementary initiatives include Academia Norte (leadership and self-management training for young people and business leaders) and El Balcón (a corporate event space) as sustainability revenue streams, plus a Respuesta Humanitaria program that responded to the 2026 earthquake.

The organization is funded primarily through individual and corporate donations processed via a PayPal gateway, with publicly disclosed monthly sponsorship tiers ranging from $25 (Wayúu literacy) to $80 (Formal Education scholarship). Revenue is also supplemented by professional services from Academia Norte and El Balcón. Governance is exercised by a Board of Directors and a five-person management team covering General Management, Administration, Communications, Projects, and Convocation. With approximately 10 employees, the organization relies heavily on its 200+ volunteer network for program delivery across multiple Venezuelan states. Marketing and donor engagement are conducted through Instagram (@impaktemos) and quarterly email newsletters, with transparency maintained through published annual management reports.

Broad incumbents

• World Vision: International humanitarian organization running child sponsorship, education, and emergency response programs across Latin America. Comparable on the educational and humanitarian response model, with overlapping donor channels and a similar engagement with vulnerable communities.
• UNICEF: UN agency with a major global education and child-protection portfolio, including a Venezuela country office. Comparable in target beneficiary (children, youth, vulnerable women) and education focus, but with vastly greater resources and a humanitarian rather than community-roots footprint.
• Save the Children: International NGO operating education, child protection, and emergency response programs across Latin America. Overlaps with Impaktemos on educational programming for vulnerable children and youth, but at significantly larger scale and scope.
• SOS Children's Villages: International NGO providing family-based care, education, and youth support to vulnerable children. Comparable in focus on long-term educational and formative outcomes for at-risk children, with a Latin American presence but materially different institutional care model.
• Plan International: International development and humanitarian organization focused on children's rights, education, and gender equality, with active programs in Latin America. Comparable on women's empowerment and educational inclusion, but with a global rather than Venezuela-specific footprint.

Others

• Ashoka: Global social entrepreneurship network supporting named 'Ashoka Fellows' working on education and social issues. Comparable as a social-sector ecosystem actor that channels resources and visibility to mission-driven educational leaders, though not a direct program operator.

Direct peers

• Fe y Alegría: Jesuit-run educational non-profit operating across 22 Latin American countries, including a major Venezuela presence. Direct peer in mission, multi-program structure (formal education, vocational training, community outreach), and donor-funded operating model.
