Changing the World, One Family at a Time
Thinking Globally, Acting Locally

The Turimiquire Foundation is the first and only non-profit of its kind in northeastern Venezuela.
We help families control their fertility, educate their children, build community, and gain access to life-changing medical and humanitarian aid.
Turimiquire, pronounced Too-ree-mee-kée-ray, means “Seat of the Gods” in the indigenous Carib language, and refers to the majestic saddles formed by the steep peaks and valleys in the local Turimiquire mountain range.
The Turimiquire Foundation is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization. All contributions are tax-deductible.
Our Federal or Employment Identification Number is 04-3286660.
LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, EDUCATION, SUSTAINABLE RURAL DEVELOPMENT, AND HUMANITARIAN AID SERVICES:

Family Planning
The first and crucial step towards empowering women is to offer them the means to control their own fertility.

Education
Once families gain control of their fertility, they can concentrate on giving their children the best possible future through schooling.

Sustainable Livelihood
Our low-impact rural development and ecological agriculture initiatives serve a dual purpose – to preserve local ecosystems and promote self-employment for rural populations.

Humanitarian Aid
Venezuela is in crisis: its lower income people are tragically vulnerable to the lack of public services and widespread scarcity of even common medicines.
