Activities Report Carlos Slim Foundation
Principles •Our approach to solve the social backlog is like the one we have for entrepreneurial activity. First, identify and find the right solutions. Second, contribute all the resources required to solve the problem. This approach is different from the first one; that is, to provide resources and then see how they are used. •Modern society is supported in the wellbeing of others and thus the best investment is to fight poverty. •Many of the social problems are more effectively taken care of when the foundations have the support of the companies’ infrastructure. •Businessmen are temporary managers of wealth. Their function is to manage it efficiently, create jobs and pay taxes; all of them have an impact on the economy of its society. •Use the expertise and entrepreneurial talent to solve society’s problems. We are used to make important decisions, generate new ideas, solve problems and take risks. •Charity helps and attenuates poverty, but does not solve it. “Poverty is fought with health, education and, above all, employment and more employment”. - Carlos Slim Helú Summary of Results PROGRAM Summary of Results RESULTS Education PROGRAM Summary of Results RESULTS Social Justice 2’330,593 beneficiaries.

CASA VECINA (Neighbor’s house) Is the cultural space of the Fundación del Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México, A.C.

The projects they support become part of the Documentation Center archive, which also offers bibliography and specialized magazines. Casa Vecina (Neighbor’s house) attempts to become an encounter and dialogue space with several communities based on its research and link programs, and it is also a kind entrance to find contemporary art.
