Summary
The New Horizons kids program supports basic needs for 350 kids at risk for Huntington's disease. We have also established a series of "Escuelitas/Talleres" (Workshop Schools) to ensure that kids receive basic education, learn a trade, and have access to psychological support. Kids & adolescents come from two towns in Venezuela with the highest incidence of HD in the world. Our teachers and psychologists ensure they get a chance in life. Participating students get a meal as well.
