National Expansion and 2026 Operations

Hacemos originated in Paraná, Entre Ríos, driven by young volunteers focused on education and equal opportunities. Following a national launch in Mar del Plata in February 2024, the program expanded its methodology and volunteer base. Throughout 2026, operations spread across the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, as well as the provinces of Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Santa Fe, Entre Ríos, Mendoza, Tucumán, Chaco, and Misiones.

Mauricio Macri highlighted the initiative during a recent gathering, stating that every child must have an opportunity. María Eugenia Vidal also endorsed the program’s educational impact, noting that eight out of ten participating children improved their literacy and math skills.

Solidarity Dinner and Fundraising Events

The event featured a live auction of Boca Juniors and River Plate soccer jerseys, led by José Chatruc and Tano Pasman, to secure financial backing for the ongoing tutoring programs.
