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

The poverty, ignorance and inequality conditions that affect some of the segments

not have access to the benefit of being free on bail although they have the right
to it, because they lack the necessary economic resources. In order for people to
obtain a bail, they have to meet the following requirements: they must not have a
criminal record and they have only committed misdemeanors. In addition, with the
support given by Carlos Slim Foundation to the Re-education Therapeutic

For Carlos Slim Foundation, Human Development is an essential part

of the growth of individuals and therefore encourages it and facilitates actions
focused on achieving personal wellbeing, with a family and social impact. This
program contributes to constant self-improvement developing values that
forge individuals satisfied with their lives and committed to their work. The
work carried out is based on the altruism of men and women responsible for
their own and others human development, since their philosophy fosters the
personal growth of the persons giving and also of the persons receiving.

“Learn to want to do”, “get persons to feel that they have a place in this life”
and “be able to consider that voluntary work is an exercise of harmony with
oneself”, these are some of the constant expressions of the testimonials of
those that participate in ASUME, TELMEX Social Wellbeing and the TELMEX
Volunteers network, forming with all of them a human team of excellence that,
throughout the entire country, gives its warm aid with experience, efficiency
and on a timely manner.
ASUME, A.C.
The Growth and Development for Mexico Association was created in 1980

axes: a) Traditions, Exhibitions and Contests, through which exhibitions are made in public
spaces and events to preserve Mexican traditions, and b) Casa Vecina, space that contributes to
the revitalization of the historic center to promote links between contemporary art and the various
audiences who visit the heart of the city.

Drivers for Road Safety

Every year road accidents claim the lives of 1.3 million people and
leave 50 million people injured around the world; thus, it is one of
the primary concerns in public health.

In Mexico, road accidents are the leading cause of death among

children and young people between the ages of 5 and 29.

Considering that 90% can be prevented, the Drivers for

Road Safety project was created. Developed by the Carlos
Slim Foundation, FIA Mexico and Escudería TELMEX, in
coordination with federal and local authorities, social organizations,
schools and businesses, the project unites the committed efforts
of all sectors of society, striving to create and implement solutions.

The goal of the project is to dramatically reduce these figures,

foster a culture of road safety focused on awareness, evaluation,
implementation of effective measures and monitoring activities.
The professional drivers who are selected, prepared and certified
by FIA Mexico bring this message to youth through schools and
mass media campaigns.
