The Turimiquire Foundation is a USA 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Cambridge, MA., supporting community-based service and environmental projects in the Turimiquire watershed of northeastern Venezuela. Please check us out at www.turimiquire.org Our mission is to help low-income families and communities in rural northeastern Venezuela to develop their potential and break out of the cycle of poverty characteristic of the area. We empower women and their children through our Recipe for a Thriving Community, integrating public health, public education and family planning programs with agricultural and environmental projects to help rural communities become productive and sustainable. We also offer targeted humanitarian aid in the current Venezuelan crisis. We believe that community-based experiments like our own can offer effective solutions and models in the less developed world. We think globally and act locally to contribute to the current United Nations Seventeen Sustainable Development Goals to Transform Our World.
