Welcome to our home!

Meet the other families and lend them a helping hand!

We are the Barliza family, we invite you to meet us! My support for one of the families will allow our Foundation to improve the living conditions of the entire community.

We want to greet you in wayúunaiki

The Barliza family introduces themselves in their native language, Wayúunaiki, and thanks you for your support.

“Good afternoon, thanks to the Mujer y Hogar Foundation for being here and helping us. We need help when it rains, because it is really complicated for us, we have to stand all night since our houses have no roof. Thank you very much for helping us with the construction of houses, my children and I will be in a better situation”.

How will the Mujer y Hogar Foundation use your monthly donation?

Your monthly donation will not be given directly to the family. This method would encourage a form of assistance that does not allow improving living conditions in the long term. In addition, it could cause community conflicts.

As a Foundation, we have the objective of achieving the family’s self-sufficiency and that of the entire community through sustainable development programs and projects with the greatest impact (for example, the construction of a school that would benefit the entire community). Your contribution will thus allow us to finance all our projects.
