What aliadas en cadena does

Aliadas en Cadena A.C. is a Venezuelan nonprofit civil association (Asociación Civil) founded in 2006 that delivers technology-focused training and economic empowerment programs to women in vulnerable conditions across Venezuela. The organization operates a network of seven physical training centers called Núcleos Aliadas en Tecnología, distributed across Caracas (four locations: Las Acacias, Catia, El Valle, and Petare), Barquisimeto, Valencia, and Maracaibo. Its core programmatic portfolio comprises four pillars: Escuela Taller (a vocational technology diploma with 320 hours of practical internships), Emprendedoras en Cadena (a 14-session entrepreneurship program), Cursos Comunitarios (basic digital literacy modules), and the Aliadas en Red alumni network that maintains post-graduation engagement and employment pathways.

The organization's training delivery combines in-person instruction at the nuclei with virtual modalities using commodity platforms (WhatsApp, Telegram, Zoom, and Google Classroom), and is supported by two proprietary educational publications: a self-guided facilitator training manual for virtual environments and a Manual de Aplicación del Modelo de Medición de Impacto designed for replication by other NGOs. The underlying methodology is structured around four content pillars: Women's Human Rights, ICT, Employability Competencies, and Psychosocial Accompaniment, with gender perspective as a transversal axis. Aliadas reports cumulative reach of more than 190,000 women over 16 years, including 1,085 graduates from the EU-funded 'Por Nosotras' project with an 80.3% accompaniment rate and over 2,000 participants in the 2022 International Women's Week activities.

Revenue comes from two streams: international donor grants (with the European Union serving as the primary disclosed funder of the 2018-2021 CSO-LA/2017/387-777 project executed jointly with AVESA) and fee-based social consulting through the Consultora Social unit, which delivers corporate CSR advisory, conflict resolution, and community relations services. Programs for beneficiaries are scholarship-based and free of charge, with enrollment managed through nucleus-specific registration forms. The organization is led by founder and Executive Director Ileana La Rosa and operates strategic alliances with UN Women, Impact Hub Caracas, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Chambers of Commerce in Barquisimeto and Valencia, and academic institutions.

Directly comparable as a Venezuelan women's-rights and education nonprofit working on the same beneficiary populations and donor relationships.

Comparable mission, target population, and blended training-plus-microenterprise model, though operating at greater geographic scale.

Comparable as a women-focused training and capacity-building organization with a replicable empowerment curriculum and an alumni/leadership network model similar to Aliadas en Red.
