Vision/Mission:
The Aston Barreiro-Ugalde Foundation has been established to spearhead much-needed support in education and sustainability in Mexico. We are committed to improving the quality of life of Mexicans by conceptualizing and implementing powerful knowledge-based tools and systems.
Through a system of scholarships, the foundation offers direct support and assistance to low-income, exceptionally talented children who aim to complete a higher degree. Additionally, the foundation focuses on supporting other key not-for-profits in helping construct schools in rural areas and supporting teachers’ training to improve the educational level further. We cannot do this alone; therefore, partnerships and engagement regionally and globally are at the heart of our work.
Given today’s environmental and mobility concerns, one of the foundations’ key arms is to internally develop various urban sustainability projects aimed at helping youth and the elderly to integrate better into a social and urban context. This is achieved by providing public spaces designed to decrease insecurity in the areas concerned and provide social and sports opportunities for the community to come together and develop further.
