The Yo También Puedo Foundation granted special recognition to the iQtek Foundation in merit of its outstanding work supporting initiatives that promote social inclusion, labor insertion, and the development of opportunities for people with disabilities in the Dominican Republic.
This award highlights iQtek’s valuable integration into the non-profit organization’s social programs, which use art and education as key tools to transform the lives of its beneficiaries.

The value of corporate social responsibility
During the awards ceremony, Roberto Rodríguez, director of iQtek, shared that his company’s commitment stems from a genuine desire to give back to society. Rodríguez highlighted that the main objective is to generate a tangible impact on the development of young people and families, allowing them to access tools that facilitate their professional growth and economic autonomy.
I had this desire to give something back. Many times those contributions we make just stay there. We do it and we don’t know what it becomes.
