What is the Poverty/Child Poverty Foundation?

WE ARE a non-profit organization whose main mission is the eventual elimination of poverty and, particularly, child poverty in our Island.

 

At Fundación Pobreza/Child Poverty Foundation we are deeply committed to the rigorous study and fight against poverty and child poverty in Puerto Rico. Poverty levels on our Island are at alarming levels, almost four times the average for the United States, a stark reality that forces us to act with urgency and commitment.

We recognize that education serves as a cornerstone of empowerment, and it is through this perspective that we focus most of our efforts.

By implementing innovative educational programs and supporting research initiatives, we aim to provide individuals and communities with the knowledge and skills needed to break free from the chains of poverty. chains of poverty.
