Born in Chile, Francisco Araneda, a committed social entrepreneur, grew up in a challenging environment in the Villa Brasilia of Estación Central. With a solid background in accounting and commercial engineering, he excelled in the banking sector, specializing in international regulations and financial technology. However, his true passion has always been financial education and the democratization of knowledge.
His life experience led him to create Fundación Vivir con Pasión in 2019, with a focus on financial education for vulnerable communities, especially migrants. After the success of his project „“Dar y Recibir““, he was selected for the Hola America accelerator in 2021, where he studied tools for systemic change.
The tragic death of his father in 2021 led him to move to Quilleco, in the Biobío region, where he immersed himself in the Dar y Recibir project. Thanks to his dedication and commitment, he managed to connect the local government and private companies, radically transforming the initiative into a creative and collaborative space, generating a new network of change in the region.
