Flor de La Esperanza Foundation
(Flower of Hope Foundation)
Empowering Through Education and Social Change
As Vice President of Flor de la Esperanza Foundation, I am committed to expanding educational opportunities and creating positive change for children and young people in need. Founded in 2015 by Andreina Suárez, the foundation focuses its efforts on underserved communities, primarily through Fe y Alegría Schools, providing education and resources to shape a brighter future.
Through innovative social programs and a strong emphasis on education, leadership, and values, we work to create opportunities, develop skills, and nurture responsible citizens committed to building a better world. In my role, I actively lead fundraising efforts, secure resources and essential materials for various programs, and play a key role in event planning and execution. I also oversee the foundation’s digital presence, managing our website and social media platforms to amplify our impact and connect with a broader audience.
