If it is unsustainable, it is not development.
The Innovation Centre for Sustainable Development is the ARPA Group Foundation.
Following this premise, we collect the innovative ideas generated in business and society.
Thanks to our experience we implement projects together with strategic organizations that analyze, validate, and distribute our projects.
In addition, we also offer training on how to implement and maintain these projects.

W.A.S.H Project at San José del Playón School, Colombia. In collaboration WITH HELP IN ACTION (Spanish NGO) and SOLIDARITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (local NGO)
The school of San José de Playón, in the María La Baja region, Colombia, does not have access to drinkable water and sanitation. In collaboration with Ayuda en Acción and the local NGO Corporación para la Desarrollo Solidario, we are developing a project that exponentially improves the quality of life of the 968 students enrolled in the center.
The role of the CIDS in this project is to carry out the viability study, design the project and provide the perfect solution so that the children of the school as well as the teachers can drink water, go to the bathroom and shower, since in most of houses there’s no water.
CIDS will donate innovative, robust, sustainable, easy-to-maintain and easy-to-use solutions that provide basic but long-lasting service to the members of the school. With the collaboration of AeA and CDS the sustainability of the project will be guaranteed, the association will be trained to maintain the equipment.
