Rosa Vera Fund, Inc.

Description

The Rosa Vera Fund does 3 things:

1. We provide living wage stipends to women (and a few men) to work as Community Health Workers. Prior to this opportunity, the women were living in dire poverty and surviving by selling things at a local market or doing farm work far from their families.

2. We provide medical and social interventions to children, many of whom have special health care needs, such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy, or vision/ hearing loss. Without our help, these children would not receive any medical attention.

3. We provide a limited number of college scholarships or technical school scholarships to especially promising health care workers.
