Sponsors of a FUNDANA Children’s Village

Alongside this innovation and positive financial announcement, Rio Supermarket demonstrates that the success of its management model translates into well-being for the communities where it operates. The brand has deployed an unprecedented network of solidarity with the Foundation for Children in Need of Protection (FUNDANA), a strategic alliance that began on February 9, 2026.

Beyond a nationwide donation campaign in all of the chain’s branches, Rio Supermarket has assumed the role of sponsors of a children’s village where approximately 15 children live.

María Eugenia Rios reported that they believe in the compassion of their customers and Venezuelans in general. Therefore, they expect to raise more than $40,000 in donations during 2026 for the social, personal, and educational development of at-risk children at FUNDANA.

In turn, Mónica Gotz, from FUNDANA’s Board of Directors, emphasized: “The contribution of each customer and donor is extremely important. Every little bit helps and contributes to the food, medical care, and private education of at-risk children in Venezuela. They are the future of a better country.”

Telegram announced the launch of a new subscription feature called Payments 2.0 that will possibly attract more users. WhatsApp’s main rival announced on its blog a new advantage over the leading platform and other rivals, and this is the new way to pay in chats: “Payments 2.0”.

However, Telegram already included support for payments in 2017, but in a very limited way, so that payment bots were the ones that allowed users to pay safely for goods and services.

Also, now the messaging platform has extended this functionality to all types of people and merchants can now accept credit card payments natively in any type of chat, using eight integrated third-party payment providers such as Stripe.

The first advantage that is incorporated into Payments 2.0 is the way to make new payments. These work in any type of chat, be it a bot, a personal chat or a group.

Telegram is a free and privacy-aware platform, so it does not receive commissions and does not store payment or transaction data.
