Veronica Celis

CEO & Founder
EnlightAID

Nominiert in der Kategorie: Social Hero

Mit welchem Digitalprojekt willst du die Person in dieser Kategorie nominieren?

Verónica’s company EnlightAID is the digital project bringing a great social impact by transforming the world of donations, which makes her a social hero.
A few years ago, Verónica had a dream to create her own organization to build sustainable schools for the most vulnerable children in Chile, and eventually, all of Latin America. But after learning how much from the donations disappear, she didn’t feel like donating. That is why she created EnlightAID. On a daily basis, aid and philanthropy send funds and other resources to the most vulnerable economies on our planet. But a large portion never reaches the causes they were intended for - some researches show 30% of all donations are lost to corruption. EnlightAID is a tech4good company with the mission to change that. She believes that transparency is key to make sure each donation gets to the right destination. This is why she has established the first platform -EnlightAID - that shows you when, where and on what each donation you give is used in real-time.
EnlightAID is aiming to make people increase their social impact for a sustainable world by bringing transparency on donations as well as creating a community of positive social impact and changemakers. She, as a social hero, is creating and fostering other social heroes.

Welche Bedeutung hat die Digitalisierung für ihre Karriere?

Verónica founded the online platform 'EnlightAID' to bring transparency to the work of foundations, NGOs and other social businesses. This is for her to engage the philanthropic world by digitalizing the aid projects, such as donations, by bringing transparency on their whole processes.
EnlightAID is an online platform to crowdfund, manage and execute aid projects transparently by showing the flow of money and what is done with it. It offers a “digital handshake” between donors and the organizations creating a social project, thus giving them the ability to communicate not only their spending but also the activities involved in creating a meaningful project.
Verónica is convinced that EnlightAID will engage a large portion of the humanitarian world and establish loyalty with its customers by changing how projects are carried out, ultimately increasing its participation in the market with proven results, and eventually transforming it.
