What we have done and what we continue to do!
The Turimiquire Foundation's core mission is helping the most needy and vulnerable in Venezuela. The ongoing humanitarian crisis has spurred over six million people to flee the country. Many have ended up at the U.S. border.

Each calender year, we take measure of our work and all that we have been able to accomplish. These are not just numbers to us. They represent real human lives empowered by their own choices, and thanks to YOUR support.
