Guillermo M. Gauna-Vivas, director of Ayúdame3D, was last Monday in the program Hoy por Hoy of Cadena Ser in the section "A coffee with Iñaki" which aims to publicize inspiring stories of young people.
Last Monday, Guillermo M. Gauna-Vivas, director of Ayúdame3D, visited Cadena Ser to talk on Hoy por Hoy about social entrepreneurship, about achieving a solid business model where the center is the positive social impact and how Ayúdame3D works in that sense.
The section of the program "Un café con Iñaki" seeks to share inspiring stories of young people who are changing the world. Iñaki Gabilondo and Àngels Barceló spoke with Guillermo about the importance of seeking social impact. "Our focus is not on profit but on improving the quality of life of many people," said the director of the NGO.
Gauna-Vivas insisted on the importance of not showing Ayúdame3D as a project of a boy who printed aids in his room. "We are a large and well-known social entity in Spain," she said, referring to the work carried out by the NGO.
During the interview, Guillermo also focused on the different technological-social awareness programs offered by Ayúdame3D. For example, the Helping program isa technological-social learning program designed for students from 4th ofprimary school to 4th of ESO, where they will be trained in design and 3D printing as well as developing social, civic, technological and entrepreneurial skills. The social entity also has CSR programs aimed at creating a more ethical and supportive business environment. We create solidarity actions that help people around the world.
The aid provided by this social entity in the more than 40 countries where it is present ranges from the famous trésdesis (3D printed arm prostheses) to pill boxes for people with Parkinson's disease, personalized boxes to cover children's chemotherapy bags or protective screens against Covid-19. The end of the interview was dedicated to the solidarity story "Helpi and the adventure of helping" whose profits are destined to the delivery of aid to people with disabilities and vulnerable groups around the world.
