Iniciativa Proxima is dedicated to closing the opportunity gap in science and fostering community values among young scientists in the Global South. Our mission, supported by the Yale Office of International Affairs, Yale Biological and Biomedical Sciences, and the laboratory of Dr. Marcelo Dietrich, has already made a significant impact. However, to continue and expand this vital work, we need your support.

Why your support matters.

• Transform Lives: Even a small donation can make a big difference. Your contribution will help us run our mentorship program, host impactful workshops, and initiate new projects. It will also enable us to hire full-time team members to enhance our efforts.
• Equip Future Leaders: Your gift helps equip the next generation of scientists with the tools and resources they need to drive scientific innovation and contribute to their communities.
• Close the Opportunity Gap: A recurring donation of just $30 a month for two years can cover the cost for one student to participate in our programs, reducing the opportunity gap for students from less privileged regions.

Join us in our mission.

Make a one-time gift or set up a recurring donation to support young scientists in the Global South. Together, we can create a vibrant, inclusive scientific community that embraces collaboration and drives societal impact.
