Our vision is a Central America in which young women are guaranteed their right to physical and emotional integrity, to economic justice and to participate as leaders in making decisions that will affect their lives and their communities.

By bringing groups of young women from diverse communities and cultures throughout Central America together, the Fund contributes to the construction of a regional movement that seeks new and creative solutions to problems young women face in their communities.

Mission: 

Our primary aims include:

  • Build young women's movements across borders.
  • Promote a culture of philanthropy for social change.
  • Leverage more money for young women's rights.
  • Maintain high level standards in our work.
