HAPPINESS FOUNDATION PARTNERS WITH GLOBAL INITIATIVES TO EMPOWER THE LOCAL CHURCH, ENCOURAGE COMMUNITIES, AND INSPIRE OTHERS TO PROTECT VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. CURRENTLY WE SUPPORT THE PUENTES PROGRAM IN ECUADOR, BUT WE WILL POSSIBLY EXPAND TO SUPPORT OTHER INITIATES IN OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE FUTURE. HAPPINESS FOUNDATION IS PROUD TO SUPPORT THE PUENTES PROGRAM IN ECUADOR. THE PUENTES PROGRAM IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT OFFERS ASSISTANCE AND GUIDANCE TO YOUNG ADULTS TRANSITIONING OUT OF CHILDREN'S HOMES OR ORPHANAGES. THE PROGRAM FOCUSES ON UNIVERSITY SUPPORT, JOB TRAINING, EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT, MENTORSHIP, AND CONNECTIONS TO INTERNSHIPS. WE BELIEVE THAT WITH THESE RESOURCES, YOUNG ADULTS WHO HAVE GROWN UP IN ORPHANAGES OR INSTITUTIONS CAN OVERCOME CHALLENGES AND ACHIEVE SUCCESS. THE PROGRAM'S COMMITMENT TO SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT ENSURES THAT EACH INDIVIDUAL WILL RECEIVE THE HELP THEY NEED TO BREAK THE CYCLE AND CREATE A BETTER FUTURE.
