Katherine Batzin, Mara Teresa Torrez and Valery Quintero are alumni of the Vital Voices Voces Que Inspiran Program (Voices That Inspire), which empowers a generation to bring creative solutions to todays biggest problems. Since graduating the program, each of them has launched an organization with important impact in their communities:
Katherine was motivated to start the Brave Guatemala (Voces que Florecen) project, which provides comprehensive and sustainable support to girls between the ages of 14 and 18 who are institutionalized in public and private orphanages in Guatemala. The project aims to increase their hope and ability to fully integrate into society.
Maria Teresa started the Nan Gana Project in Panama, which educates mothers, or caregivers in vulnerable conditions, about study methodologies, soft skills, and technology so that they can be mentors in their children's learning and to acquire knowledge and skills that serve them for their lives.
Valery Quintero believes that "with small actions, great changes are achieved, and the main change begins with you." She founded Activate to promote mental health by conducting workshops that foster emotional intelligence and soft skills in children and young people in Panama.
Learn more about our partner program Voices That Inspire.
All these young leaders will join us at Women Deliver 2023 in Kigali, Rwanda, where there will be space and support to connect and create the impact that they know is possible. Together we can unlock the innovation, creativity, and impact of this entire generation of change makers to help move us towards an equal future.
