“My dream was to support the young people in my community, but the economic barrier seemed insurmountable. Filantropis not only funded my degree, but believed in my potential to lead.”

From Student to Agricultural Leader: The Legacy of
Camilo Ramírez
I studied agronomy because I identify with nature; it's a noble profession. I feel capable of using new production systems and resource management methods to improve the quality of life for the population. Filantropis has been a great support to me throughout my university studies. Access to financing is crucial; Filantropis covered my tuition and monthly fees for all five years. I also had access to a repayable fund to cover my academic expenses, food, and materials.
Professional Training: I received training in Leadership, Resilient Communities, Conflict Resolution, project implementation support, and educational tours, all of which have been valuable both personally and professionally. Thanks to Filantropis, I achieved my dream: I have a formal job and I spend my time advising micro-businesses in agriculture. I am also a primary school teacher and I am currently starting my own business.
