Christy Walton is a philanthropic businesswoman from the United States who for many years has turned her attention to Baja California Surwhere he has developed projects that seek to generate positive changes in society.
It has worked for the past 45 years in partnership with communities to accelerate innovations that strengthen community participation, the economy and the environment.
Its main focus has been on La PazMexico, in the region of Sea of Cortezas well as places for which he has an affinity: San Diego, California; Jackson, Wyoming; Arkansas, southern Oregon, and Panama.
One of the concepts he advocates is the role that the wealthy should play by investing in new and unproven projects, and where a traditional investor might not dare to invest.
"When pushing the boundaries of a system into a more vital but untested realm, a level of resources is often necessary to absorb failures and create opportunities. This investment is often irretrievable. However, once the goal is reached, it opens a path into the future so that others can participate at a reasonable level of investment and change can occur," she explains on the Alumbra innovations website, a business alliance she founded where several companies converge.
His interest, we read in his biography, is in investing in systems that bring about positive changes in social, environmental and economic health, which he sees as inextricably linked.
iAlumbra stands out in proposals that have a commercial future and simultaneously restore and strengthen both communities and their natural environment.
It follows a path of deep community engagement and invests in empowering local leaders, experts and civil society through capacity building that creates economic opportunities specific to their local assets and environment.
iAlumbra's businesses are in aquaculture, land regeneration, community development and investing in the future.
"Our activities include the development of state-of-the-art offshore aquaculture systems, watershed restoration, the implementation of holistic livestock practices and permaculture principles, and the revitalization of communities through education, gardens, tourism, culture, architecture, and design," iAlumbra highlights.
By combining investment, philanthropy, advocacy and coalition building, Christy is committed to building strong foundations now and in the future, believing that a collective pride and sense of place is essential to the development of healthy, equitable and inclusive communities.
