Latin America and the Caribbean
Everyone should have a safe home and be able to earn a living, put food on the table and care for their children. And we should be able to make this happen in a way that lifts up local cultures and gives voice to the marginalized.
From Mexico to Argentina, we're teaming up with compassionate partners to make this happen. We focus on reaching people who society often excludes, such as families in remote areas. Or children with incarcerated parents. Or people who have left their homes in search of safety or prosperity.
Whether it's through growing gardens, rebuilding neighborhoods following a hurricane, or advocating for vulnerable communities, we are ensuring everyone has the right to a dignified life in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Join us as we partner with these communities and open new doors.
