Financial Fitness: Building Wealth for a Stronger Future is a program dedicated to promoting financial inclusion and literacy among communities in Mexico and Latin America. The program is available to any person who speaks Spanish and is accessible through various channels such as the program's website, mobile app, and community workshops.
In 2022, the program served over 7,500 people through its various activities and programs. These include educational workshops, financial coaching, and online resources designed to empower individuals and families to take control of their financial futures. The program's focus on financial education and literacy has helped individuals and families make informed financial decisions, access financial services and products, and build a solid foundation for long-term financial stability.
Financial Fitness: Building Wealth for a Stronger Future is committed to reaching even more people in the coming years and expanding its reach to new communities in Mexico and Latin America. By providing accessible, culturally-sensitive financial education, the program aims to help individuals and families break the cycle of poverty, reduce financial stress, and build a brighter financial future for themselves and their communities.
Financial Fitness: Building Wealth for a Stronger Future is committed to promoting financial inclusion and literacy among communities around the world. However, we face several technical, legal, cultural, and market barriers that make it difficult to achieve our goals. We hope Solve can help us overcome these challenges and achieve our mission.
One of the leading technical barriers we face is adopting new technology to help us deliver better and more engaging financial education materials. We need a mobile app that is accessible, user-friendly and engaging for users of different ages, educational backgrounds, and financial literacy levels. By working with Solve, we hope to access technical expertise that can help us develop a mobile app that can meet the needs of our diverse audience.
In addition to technical barriers, we also face legal challenges. We must ensure that the technology we use complies with data privacy and security regulations, primarily since our program collects personal financial information from users. We also need to ensure that the technology is accessible to people with disabilities and can be used on different devices, including smartphones and tablets. By collaborating with Solve, we hope to access legal expertise to help us navigate these challenges and ensure that our program complies with industry standards.
Cultural and language barriers also present challenges for our program. We need to ensure that our financial education materials are culturally sensitive and relevant to the communities we serve. We must also develop our program in multiple languages to reach non-Spanish-speaking populations in Latin America and beyond. By working with Solve, we hope to gain access to cultural and language expertise that can help us develop our program in a way that resonates with our diverse audience.
By working together, we believe that we can make a real difference in promoting financial inclusion and literacy among underserved communities.

Financial Fitness: Building Wealth for a Stronger Future is still innovative in several ways:
Personalized financial education: We recognize that financial education needs vary among individuals and communities. To address this, our program offers personalized financial education tailored to each individual's specific needs and goals. This approach enables us to provide more effective and relevant financial education and empower people to control their financial futures.
Accessible resources: Our website platform and messaging system provide easy access to financial education resources, which can be accessed from anywhere at any time. This enables us to reach more people, especially those in underserved communities who may not have access to traditional financial education resources.
Research-based approach: Our program is based on extensive financial inclusion and literacy research, enabling us to deliver high-quality, evidence-based financial education. This approach ensures that our program is practical and relevant and helps to build trust with the communities we serve.
Community engagement: We believe financial education is most effective when it is delivered through community engagement. Our program uses a community-based approach, which involves working with community leaders and stakeholders to deliver financial education resources tailored to each community's specific needs and goals. This approach helps to build trust, engagement, and long-term sustainability for our program.
Our impact goals for the next year and the next five years are as follows:
Launch the mobile app: Our primary goal for the next year is to launch the mobile app, which will enable us to deliver more effective and accessible financial education resources to our users. We plan to leverage the latest technology, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, to provide personalized financial education resources to our users in multiple languages.
Expand our reach: Our goal for the next five years is to expand our reach to new communities and countries, including Asia and Africa. We plan to develop new partnerships and collaborations with local organizations and community leaders and create more engaging and accessible financial education resources.
Create a new division for content for children: To empower the next generation with solid financial habits, we plan to create a new division for children. We aim to provide high-quality financial education resources that are engaging, interactive, and fun for children and can be easily integrated into school curriculums.
Translation of personal finances book: We plan to translate our personal finances book into 5 languages over the next five years, making it accessible to even more people around the world. This will be achieved through collaborations with local publishing partners, community organizations, and online platforms.
Free online training and hybrid conferences: To expand access to our financial education resources, we plan to offer free online training to anyone interested in improving their financial literacy. We also plan to host hybrid conferences and training sessions, combining in-person and online interactions to create a more engaging and practical learning experience.
To achieve these goals, we plan to continue building strong partnerships with local organizations and community leaders and to leverage the latest technology to create practical, accessible, and engaging financial education resources for everyone. We also plan to continue investing in research and development to ensure our program remains relevant and effective for our communities.
- 1. No Poverty
- 4. Quality Education
To measure our progress toward our impact goals, we use quantitative and qualitative indicators.
Quantitative indicators include the number of learners in our programs, the number of remote learners from our activities, the number of beneficiaries who receive the daily tip, and the percentage of people who open it. We will also collect data from financial statements people voluntarily provide on our platform.
Qualitative indicators include feedback and testimonials from participants and whether they feel more confident in managing their finances. Additionally, we will track whether participants are returning to education after they have experienced disadvantages and have stopped attending school. We will also track data to understand where participants were when they joined our program and where they are after a few years of participating in Financial Fitness: Building Wealth for a Stronger Future.
By analyzing these indicators, we will be able to understand our solution's impact on the lives of our participants, and we can use this information to refine and improve our programs and services over time.
Our theory of change is based on the premise that financial education and access to resources are essential for building wealth and achieving financial stability. We believe that by providing high-quality financial education, tools, and resources to underserved communities, we can empower individuals to take control of their finances and make better financial decisions.
Our approach is to use online and offline resources to deliver financial education and support to our target population. Our website platform provides access to free online training, daily financial tips, and a range of financial resources. We also offer hybrid conferences and training to provide in-person support and build a community around financial education.
Using these tools, we expect immediate outputs such as increased financial literacy, better financial decision-making, and increased access to financial resources. In the longer term, we hope to see outcomes such as increased financial stability, decreased financial stress, and improved quality of life for individuals and their families.
We believe this approach can significantly impact the problem of financial exclusion and inequality, particularly for underserved communities in Mexico and LATAM. Our theory of change is supported by third-party research and evaluations of similar programs, as well as by feedback from our target population on the effectiveness of our approach.

We use the platform Vidpopup to personalize each participant's experience and learning process. Graphy to generate all the learning content so participants can access it 24/7. Adilo to upload all the videos and audio for users. Among other platforms and technologies.

Financial sustainability is crucial for Financial Fitness: Building Wealth for a Stronger Future. Our primary funding source is sustained donations from individuals and philanthropic organizations, and we also seek out grants to support specific programs and initiatives.
To become more financially sustainable, we are exploring several strategies to generate revenue while advancing our mission. One approach is offering fee-based training and consulting services to organizations seeking to improve the financial literacy and well-being of their employees or members.
We have established partnerships with various organizations that value our expertise and resources and have successfully provided tailored training and consulting services for a fee.
Another strategy we are exploring is to sell educational products and merchandise related to financial literacy and well-being. This includes our personal finance book and other materials we are developing, such as online courses, webinars, and workshops.
We also plan to create a revenue stream through our new international challenges, allowing people to register for free and upgrade to a VIP experience. This will help us generate revenue and continue investing that budget in attracting more beneficiaries through search engine marketing (SEM). We will use this revenue to improve and expand our online platform and develop new programs and activities for our beneficiaries.
Our ultimate goal is to achieve financial sustainability while continuing to provide services to communities in need.
In the longer term, we aim to expand our revenue streams by seeking service contracts with governments and other large organizations. We also plan to seek out investment capital to help us scale our impact and reach more people in need worldwide. Ultimately, our revenue streams will cover our expected expenses and help us achieve our mission of building financial fitness and wealth for a stronger future.
We have generated revenue in various ways to support our financial sustainability. For example, our Book of Personal Finances has seen success with presales before its launch, covering the costs of publishing and editing.
Additionally, we have promoted our courses to B2B contacts on LinkedIn, generating cash flow from startups and organizations. Through these efforts, we have established partnerships with non-profit organizations to implement our online resources and daily tips while building stronger relationships for a more significant impact.
In 2021, we also hosted 15 paid conferences, which generated additional income that we have reinvested into improving our technology and equipment for virtual webinars, courses, and other valuable materials for our participants.
By creating these revenue streams and investing the proceeds into our social programs and free services, we can maintain our financial sustainability while continuing to grow our impact.
