Funda Flanma therefore launched a “Moviamasdecasa” aid program, which trains women in developing socially productive micro-projects and family economies. The goal of this program is to improve the women’s financial resources and the skills of their families and communities through microcredit. Thanks to this program, approximately 3,000 housewives in various provinces of Venezuela have received training.

Humanitarian crisis in Venezuela
The initiative was designed as a sustainable program to support, guide, train, and provide ongoing technical and professional development for women, teenage mothers, and housewives who want to improve their quality of life. Unfortunately, in 2018, Venezuela entered a humanitarian emergency, resulting in increasingly limited access to basic necessities such as food, water, and other essentials, such as toilet paper, for the local population.

As a result, the daily lives of the Venezuelan population became entirely focused on survival. Funda Flanma therefore established a food program to provide food to children living in communities experiencing extreme poverty.

This humanitarian crisis has prompted the Avila Foundation, in partnership with the AmmanyA Foundation, to purchase a house in Sucre, Venezuela, where the Funda Flanma Foundation can provide 80 children with a hot meal and help them develop toward a hopefully better future.
