Who we are and Where we Work

About Us: The Paz Foundation is a Private Charitable Organization working for the betterment of Women and Children in various parts of the world.

The Inspiration Behind the Paz Foundation

Growing up in California and living in Subsidised Housing I experience firsthand the disparity of people living paycheck to paycheck, drug dealing, Domestic violence, child neglect abuse, etc. In spite of these social ills, we managed to stay active in school programs, and sports and graduated from high school and college.

The nucleus of our family and the inspiration behind the founding of the PAZ FOUNDATION was our mother named “PAZ”. Our Mother was a good-hearted and charitable woman that immigrated from Mexico to work in labor camps in the early 1950s. She has a deep desire to raise her children in an environment of good Education and Business opportunities.
