A NON-PROFIT ORGANISATION MAKING A LOCAL IMPACT FROM THE GROUND UP.

In 2020 we started our foundation, Somos El Cambio, to further strengthen and organize Envision's impact initiatives, primarily focused around environmental preservation and restoration.

We are hyper effective with our resources through educating and empowering the local community, leveraging volunteer programmes and collaborating with both governmental and for-profit organisations.

We firmly believe that this will not only bridge the gap between the public and private sector, but also serve as an inspiration for how others can impact the local community where they live.

DO MORE WITH LESS

We put a huge emphasis on efficient use of funds and resources. We make every single dollar we receive and invest work incredibly hard.

THE RIPPLE EFFECT

Even a small ripple can turn into a large wave. Our aim is for our efforts to inspire change far beyond the space in which we operate.

LOCAL COLLABORATION

One of the cornerstones of our foundation's success so far is our efforts in empowering, involving and educating our local community and selecting the right organizations to partner with.
