Overview

Mission

The cuenca foundation provides hope and support to people who lack resources, helping them to work towards a more stable future.

What it reported doing in 2025

The cuenca food program is a lifeline for those struggling with food insecurity in cuenca. This program distributes food kits (containing dry goods, fresh produce, eggs, and hygiene products) to approximately 1,000 people, including the beneficiaries of three partner foundations. The cuenca outreach program addresses some of the other needs to enhance everyday life - providing assistance with education, hygiene, family celebrations, and physical comfort.
