Empowering Foster Girls and Teens in Puerto Rico
Organization information
Hogares Teresa Toda
Location: Canovanas, Puerto Rico
Summary
We seek to heal the traumatic wounds suffered by girls and teens ages 6 to 17 victims of abuse neglect and/or abandonment. A multi-disciplinary team approach assures that our girls receive particular attention to their needs. When residents age-out of foster care we provide assistance with higher education and related materials, room/board, nutrition, transportation, personal/career planning counseling and jobs placement. Our girls and teens grow into independent and empowered, women.
