FUNDACIÓN ALIMENTARIS

We are an independent organization working in Argentina to promote the transition toward systemic and sustainable change through the development and scale-up of evidence-based, context-specific methodologies.

Our history

Alimentaris was born from the commitment of its founder, Karina Bentivoglio, in response to the challenges of malnutrition in Argentina. From our early experience collaborating with organizations working in the field, we came to understand the depth and complexity of the problem.

This journey shaped the evolution of our approach: we realized that we could generate greater impact by assuming a flexible and strategic role that, through a comprehensive and systemic perspective, could improve the design, implementation, and scaling of responses to major social, economic, and environmental challenges.

Our vision

To contribute to the development of a fairer, more prosperous and sustainable world.

Our values

Courage

We are determined to overcome adversity and take on the risks and commitments necessary to achieve our goals.

Independence

We make decisions autonomously and always work in alignment with our values and approach.

Openness

Respect

We acknowledge and value every individual, their environment, their needs, and their potential.

Integrity

What we do is always consistent with what we think, say, and agree upon, in line with our institutional purpose.

Flexibility

We listen, learn, and take on the roles needed in each project.

Our team

We are a team committed to generating concrete and lasting transformations. We work with professionalism, empathy, and passion, leveraging our collective strengths and building relationships of trust.
