FundAFID is the result of a collective initiative by a group of professionals who, moved by the critical situation faced by children and young adults with disabilities in Venezuela, decided to create an organization to address some of these realities.
Our programs and projects are developed with the objective of providing integral attention to achieve social inclusion. This perspective allows us to generate strategic interventions creating a positive impact on the communities where we work.
In 2017, FundAFID was legally created as a non-profit organization.
