FOR A BRIGHTER VENEZUELA PARTNERS WITH KEEP A CHILD ALIVE (FOUNDED BY ALICIA KEYS)
TO HELP FEED 1,200 STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES FOR A YEAR
PARTNERSHIP
We are proud to announce our new partnership with Keep a Child Alive ("KCA") and the ALSI Foundation, with the purpose to feed an entire Fe y Alegria School in Cumana, Venezuela. With over 1,200 families at the Madre Alberta Giménez School, the KCA backed campaign will feed over 7,200 people, including students, their parents, as well as school staff.
HUMANITARIAN CRISIS
Venezuela continues to be in a deep humanitarian crisis. With over 65% of people living in poverty, Venezuela is now considered the poorest country in South America. The collapse of the formal economy and the failed government have forced more than 5 million people to flee the country. The desperate situation has been made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic, which is having a major impact on people, communities, and education systems. The income loss for many has increased the number of people facing hunger.
KCA + ALSI
KCA, with the support of ALSI on the ground in Caracas, is working with For a Brighter Venezuela to help a Fe y Alegria school in one of the most impoverished states in the country. The funds raised go in their entirety to for emergency supply baskets, which include nutritious food and hygiene products

The humanitarian crisis in Venezuela has affected the children disproportionately.
Families haven’t been able to afford school supplies or enough food to feed their
children so they can focus in class. Teachers in Venezuela are noticing fewer students in attendance than usual. According to Reuters, 3 million of the country’s 8 million school-aged children have dropped out.

to feeding and helping educate children
in Venezuela via local organizations.
Our Story
The organization was started in New York by
its five directors, all of whom have strong ties to Venezuela.
Born out of a desire to help address the growing
humanitarian crisis in Venezuela that has caused children
to drop out of school and limit their learning because
they are hungry.
We aim to create a platform through which children,
the most vulnerable segment of the population, are looked after.
How we do it
For A Brighter Venezuela partners
with local not for profit organizations
that support causes related
to children’s education and nutrition.
“We believe in education as a powerful tool for social change and are committed to promoting quality, inclusive programs for people living in marginalized and impoverished communities.”
Escuelas del Futuro - Schools of the Future
In 2017 we funded the project ‘Schools of the Future’, the project’s objective was to provide breakfast to students, which helps improve school attendance. For A Brighter Venezuela raised enough funds to support 1,089 students across two schools.
