The Paz Foundation
NGO in Oakland, CA, USA
The Paz Foundation Charity Foundation was Founded by Mr. Luis Ortiz Aguilar in July 2013. “Our vision is to Empower Women and Children around the world with innovative and value-driven educational, financial, social and ethics-based programs using global partnerships and collective international action, so they are inspired to lead their communities and other community benefit organizations with moral and ethical leadership values.”
Our Protection, Education and Empowerment programs for Women and Children start by establishing Domestic Violence Centers which will provide an in-patient refuge facility where victims and their families will receive 24/7 crisis intervention, help and recovery. Our primary objective is to “break the cycle of violence”, interrupt the downward spiral of maladaptive behavior and return the individual to their usual level of pre-crisis functioning.
