“Walking together a path of learning and transformation”
Fundashon Awenyo
Awenyo is a local not-for-profit Foundation, registered in Willemstad, Curaçao with an aim of contributing to the betterment of all people training and capacity building programs that foster learning, leadership, and social transformation.
Meaningful, enduring change begins with a deeper vision of education — one not just limited to formal schooling, but a lifelong process that unlocks human potential and empowers individuals to contribute to a better world.
Our work centers on three interwoven strands:
training and empowering educators with the tools, vision, and capabilities to enhance and strengthen their teaching & learning;
equipping youth to lead through service and social action;
and developing curricula that foster character, virtues, and moral leadership.
Awakening human potential for the betterment of society.
The name Awenyo comes from the Akan language of West Africa — a region tied deeply to the heritage of the people of Curaçao. It carries the meaning of unity, connection, and shared hope for the future. It speaks to our vision of helping to weave lives and communities together with a shared purpose and hope. It also reflects our belief that communities grow stronger when we walk together along a path of learning, service, and the unfolding of human potential.

Applying a Shared Vision Into Meaningful Action

Rooted in a Vision
We believe education is more than the transfer of knowledge — it is a sacred trust. When rooted in values and connected to a vision of service, education has the power to awaken purpose, unlock & release immense capacity, and transform communities from within.
In many places, teachers feel overburdened and unsupported, young people lack a meaningful opportunity to tap into this potential within, and curricula and educational systems-the world over—fall woefully short of nurturing the qualities and capabilities most urgently needed in today’s world — empathy, resilience, and a sense of responsibility for the greater good.
Awenyo exists to respond to this need — not by imposing solutions, but by walking alongside those who are already planting seeds of change. We aim to accompany teachers, youth, and communities on a path of learning, action, and shared growth.
begins when we learn to see every learner as a builder of society.”
