OUR VISION Solidarity To be an organization recognized for its values of commitment and solidarity with the men, women, and children of Venezuela. OUR GOAL Empower vulnerable Venezuelans to provide for their own needs and ultimately improve their quality of life. OUR HISTORY Four Women for Venezuela This initiative was born in October of 2016 from the effort of four Venezuelan women living in the United States, compelled to act on behalf of their country. The Foundation was formally founded by Gloria Mattiuzzi, Gabriela Rondón, Maria Elena Teixeira, and Carolina Febres, on December 14th of 2016 and it is dedicated to creating programs and partnerships to deliver hope to any corner of the national territory of Venezuela. HOW WE OPERATE We work in partnership with local organizations and advisors to distribute resources where the need is greatest. We partner with Venezuelan organizations to develop programs that alleviate specific needs in the areas of health, nutrition, and education. These organizations, along with partners and volunteers, deliver the education and resources to the beneficiaries. HEALTH PROGRAM The collapsed Venezuelan healthcare system is characterized by a lack of medication and medical supplies, a lack of running water in hospitals, and an absence of medical equipment and vaccines. Our 2021 strategy focuses on health, dental, and primary care to communities where healthcare is limited or difficult to access. With your donations and our support: We organize educational health drives in high-risk communities. We provide medicines to patients with chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and epilepsy. We donate medical supplies to rural centers and hospitals. NUTRITION PROGRAM We are leading a fight against hunger and malnutrition that cause severe problems in Venezuela. Eighty percent of Venezuela's population cannot eat three meals a day due to a severe shortage and economic conditions driving high food costs in the market. This situation significantly affects the elderly and children throughout the country. How we do it: We stock community pantries and fund nutritional training programs to help local leaders track and measure key health indicators. We provide staple food supplies to orphanages, nursing homes, and organizations that cook for the homeless. We partner with rural schools to ensure at least one meal a day for every child during school days and on weekends. We work with children's hospitals to provide formula to newborns and toddlers who cannot benefit from breastfeeding. EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM With record hyperinflation affecting Venezuela, many families struggle to make a living. Not only do low-income parents have difficulties sending their children to school, but many have also lost their jobs and have a difficult time finding stable employment. We focus on empowering youth and women with entrepreneurial skills to become self-dependent. With your collaboration: We focus on providing practical approaches for individuals to become productive with micro-businesses. We facilitate training curriculums for youth and women to learn trades to learn practical skills such as sewing, typing, and nursing to become independent. We support educational programs that promote children's creativity, social dialogue, and fair use of free time. We support children for their continued academic success by providing them with uniforms, shoes, backpacks, and school supplies.
