The Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) believes in creating a hemisphere of opportunity, for all. Created in 1962 through a unique agreement between the Organization of American States (OAS) and the private sector, the Pan American Development Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization 501(c)(3) that creates public-private partnerships to assist the least advantaged people in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Working throughout the region, PADF engages community-based groups, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), national, state, and municipal governments, and the private sector in the process of implementing appropriate solutions for sustainable development.
Mission: The Pan American Development Foundation empowers disadvantaged people and communities in Latin America and the Caribbean to achieve sustainable economic and social progress, strengthen their communities and civil society, and prepare for and respond to natural disasters and other humanitarian crises, thereby advancing the principles of the Organization of the American States.

Earlier this month, we held a health brigade in coordination with Profamilia Colombia to support underweight Venezuelan children in Maicao, Colombia. Through this, we were able to provide critical primary care to vulnerable children living near the Colombia-Venezuela border.

Since last year, #PADF has been partnering w/ IAMovement to provide sustainable livelihood opportunities for indigenous #Warao women who fled from #Venezuela to the southern region of Trinidad & Tobago.
Here, Warao women are engaged in dynamic handicraft training sessions as well as business development and gender-based violence prevention workshops. Through this project, Warao women learn new weaving techniques, build connections to the local market via the “House of Vetiver” brand, and maintain the growth of new plants through a community-based nursery, thereby improving their quality of life in their new communities.
