OUR PROMISE TO YOU
At Noelia, our mission goes beyond addressing immediate needs — we are working to transform what is possible for children and young adults with special needs and the families who support them. Our mission is to provide financial and administrative support to underserved communities in Bolivia of people with disabilities. These individuals live in abject poverty and have little to no resources and are often neglected. We have concentrated our efforts in Bolivia but hope to expand operations throughout Latin America.
Founder's Story
We are blessed to be the parents of our dear Noelia. She was born with severe intellectual impairment due to her cerebral dysgenesis with agenesis of the Corpus Callosum (malformation and underdevelopment of one of the parts of her brain). Being parents of a child facing such enormous challenges, you want nothing more than to have them live their best life possible. Thankfully, to the public and private resources available in the United States, Noelia has thrived into the vibrant, happy adult that she is today. Even though intellectually, she may never be at the same level as her biological age, Noelia is much more capable and functional due to all the resources received.
It is incredible how one small idea can grow into something truly special. Noelia Cuadros Foundation is rooted in the belief that we all have an inherent responsibility to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people with similar challenges in communities worldwide where the resources would not be available. With a variety of active projects and growing volunteer staff, we harness our skills and resources to successfully achieve our goals. We have been proud to witness how our activities have benefitted communities.
Mission in Action
01 — Access
We provide and strengthen access to critical therapies, including speech and developmental support, ensuring that children and young adults receive the care they need to communicate and learn. By focusing on early and consistent intervention, we help unlock each child's potential and improve long-term outcomes.
02 — Community
Families are at the heart of everything we do. We work to connect them with vital support systems, resources and community centers with therapeutic services. By strengthening the ecosystem around each child, we create a more inclusive and supportive environment for a better quality of life and long-term success.
