OUR MISSION & VISION

We are a volunteer-based non-profit organization founded by Venezuelan migrants that serve displaced people from Venezuela and other countries in the World.

Our primary purpose is to help those seeking humanitarian protection in the United States by informing and empowering them. We advocate mainly for people affected by the ongoing deep, complex crisis in Venezuela to build bridges between them and local organizations that can assist in finding better opportunities to establish in this country.
