Fundación Juanfe
Breaking poverty cycles of adolescent mothers living in poverty in Latin America
The Juanfe Foundation is a private, independent, non-profit organization committed to strengthening the role of women as essential actors in development.
Since 2001, we have contributed to the eradication of poverty and the advancement of gender equality in Latin America. More specifically, we work to stop the intergenerational transmission of poverty, addressing the problem of teenage pregnancy in marginalized populations, defending the fundamental rights of the most vulnerable populations -especially children and women- and vindicating the role of women in different areas of society.
Our intervention strategy, which consists of comprehensive care in physical, mental and emotional health services, certified technical labor education and the insertion of our beneficiaries into the formal labor market, complemented by early childhood care and family involvement, has been consolidated as an economic development model and has been successfully replicated in Medellín, Panama City and Santiago de Chile.
