About Us
Incorporation of Fundajuventud
On September 3, 2002 our Non Governmental Organization (NGO) was incorporated in Tucupita, in the eastern city of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, with the noble intention of developing programmes that address several important issues facing children, adults and other vulnerable persons in various areas, such as, human rights, migrant and refugee attention, Health, Cultural, HIV and STD prevention, adolescent pregnancy, crime reduction through sports and educational related programmes.
Migrant / Refugee Intervention
Supporting migrant / refugee families residing in Trinidad and Tobago. We are pleased to accept a contribution of clothing an baby nutrition. Clothing was graciously sent by the Syrian Lebanese Women's Association of Trinidad and Tobago (SLWA).
Educational Intervention
In December, 2018 Fundajuventud arrange the purchase and safe shipping of approximately USD1,000 of vital school and art supplies to be shipped from the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago to Tucupita, eastern Venezuela. Items included notebooks, USB flash drives, calculators, pens and book bags.
Due to the ongoing democratic disruption causing many schools and universities to close, supplies in this small city have vanished and home schooling becoming the norm.
Hunger & Poverty Alleviation
Our surveys indicate that many young children, under the age of 10-years and many adolescents are starving and eating sub-standards meals, in terms of calorie intake. We will like to assist the many migrant/refugees who are residing in Trinidad and Tobago and also in eastern Venezuela to beat this challenge and to give them the "gift of living" healthy.
