MISSION

To empower individuals and communities across Latin America by providing support to local rural educational institutions committed to fostering inclusive and transformative education.

VISION

Foster educational environments where every child has access to the resources, and opportunities they need to thrive and succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Institutions we are currently supporting

The foundation is actively seeking partner institutions throughout Latin America. The private institutions and programs we are currently supporting, stand out for their strong values and commitment to provide quality and personalized education, centered on the children and fostering the well-being of the communities.

In the short time since our foundation’s establishment, we are already funding three institutions:

Unidad Educativa Particular Dr. Sipione

IN LATIN AMERICA

a significant number of communities lack access to clean water, proper healthcare, or quality education. This has led to increased disease rates, limited economic opportunities, and generational cycles of poverty.

Infrastructure and Resources

Many schools in rural and underserved areas lack basic infrastructure, learning materials, and qualified teachers.

Impact of Poverty on Education

Children from low-income families are more likely to drop out of school and have lower educational attainment, perpetuating the cycle of poverty.

Impact on Immigration

Children and families in Latin America exposed to poverty, lack of education, and economic instability are driven to migrate in search of better opportunities, contributing to the U.S. hosting the largest migrant population globally, with nearly 51 million international migrants in 2020. (Pew Research Center)

For us, addressing these issues is crucial not just for reducing migration but for giving these children the opportunity to thrive in their own communities.

What do we achieve with your contribution?

The support we provide to each institution will depend on the specific needs they have to continue with their optimal operation and development.

GIGSY
& OMAR

When Giselle attended public schools, she missed many classes because they said there was no water or no electricity, and the teachers weren’t very attentive to the children. We are very happy with this great opportunity and love seeing how responsible and committed our daughter is. She loves to learn, and her teachers are very attentive.
Thank you, Williams Foundation.

ANLLYS
& WINDER
BARRUETA

We are very happy because our son Angel is studying at the Lazarillo de Tormes unit for the first time. We work, but what we earn isn’t enough to cover our child’s school enrollment.

Thank you, Williams Foundation, for this help and the opportunity you are giving us for our child to have a better education and a better future.
