About Us

‘’Empowers the Body, Mind & Soul’’

After several years of searching to improve my health, I realized that what I was looking for was acceptance of myself and approval from others. I saw myself in front of groups of people who knew nothing about me.
They only knew that I came from far away, with a physical disability, to bring them a word of motivation through my personal story of resilience. After several days of visiting groups of people with disabilities, I understood and accepted that my destiny and sense of fulfillment were in helping others. I understood that I should be a voice of encouragement for those going through what I was going through. Subsequently, it became clear that the best way to crystallize ideas and purposes of aid was to create and shape a non-profit foundation.
 This is how this place was born! A place where I can leave my legacy and where I can help others leave their own. Through empowerment, guidance, education, and testimony, I aspire to guide human beings toward a life full of motivation so that they can go wherever their heart takes them. This is a safe space where people with emotional, physical, and mental needs can reach their own voice. And for those who have no voice, we will be that voice.

Yessenia Torres Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to social transformation through love, justice, and solidarity. Our mission is rooted in four essential pillars: the empowerment of women, the protection of children’s rights, the well-being of the elderly, and the defense of animals. These core values guide every program, project, and initiative we carry out.

We believe in a world where every person—regardless of age, gender, or background—deserves to live with dignity, respect, and purpose. That’s why we develop initiatives that combine art, education, culture, and community engagement as powerful tools for meaningful and lasting change.
From the beginning, we have worked alongside communities, social leaders, artists, educators, and volunteers to build bridges of hope and opportunity. Our vision is clear: a world where compassion, care, and conscious action form the foundation of harmony between people and with all living beings.
We invite you to explore our work, support our causes, and become part of this movement of transformation that believes in the power of acting with heart.

Our mission is to drive change, not only nationally but also globally. We are driven by a firm commitment to transform realities and build a more just, compassionate, and inclusive world.
We work tirelessly to provide comprehensive support to people with disabilities, promoting their empowerment, autonomy, and active participation in society.

Together we can make a difference. Every action, no matter how small, counts toward building a future where dignity and respect are shared values ​​for all living beings.
 

Our Vision

Our vision is to be a firm, clear, and transformative voice that, from the local to the global level, resonates in all sectors of society with a message of justice, compassion, and commitment to the most vulnerable. We aspire to become a national and international benchmark in the defense of fundamental rights and the active promotion of human and animal dignity, acting as a bridge between indifference and solidarity.

We aim to positively influence public policies, raise social awareness, and mobilize resources to comprehensively serve those most in need. Our cause encompasses the protection, empowerment, and visibility of women victims of violence or in situations of exclusion, children at risk, forgotten or lonely elderly people, individuals with disabilities who face physical and social barriers, and abandoned animals who also deserve a dignified and protected life.
