The Latin American Women’s Club (Damas Latins Manila) is a duly registered non-stock, non-profit organization founded in 1966 by a group of Latin American women seeking to establish an organization with two main purposes:
To offer a source of information, friendship, and support to Spanish speaking families who have come to live in the Philippines.
To gather forces to provide assistance to local people in need, especially children who do not have access to education, health services or a safe environment.
Our beneficiaries’ institutions are:
The Holy Family Home Foundation Inc., a nonprofit organization managed by the Congregation of the Capuchin Tertiary Sisters of the Holy Family. Holy Family Home provides long-term residential care, protection, and rehabilitation of over 25 abandoned, neglected, orphaned, and physically abused girls. The foundation aims to mold the girls residing in the home into socially functioning individuals.
The Eugenia Ravasco Daycare Center in Parañaque is run by The Daughters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary Congregation. Their mission is to provide basic health care, education and a clean safe environment for children from 3 to 4 years old, so that their parents can go to work and earn a living.
The Club is looking forward to having you in the Latin Charity Ball to help, show support to the organizations and to share the Latin culture.
