Amare Global® | Amare Caring Hands

At Amare, our mission is to lead a global movement that empowers people to live positive, productive, and purposeful lives. Amare’s core values are love, integrity, innovation, SERVICE, and humility. We are honored to further this mission through the Amare Caring Hands Foundation™.

Thanks to your generous donations in 2024, Amare Caring Hands is expanding its impact—bringing hope, education, and essential resources to even more communities in need. Through a new partnership with the Koltael Foundation, founded by Caring Hands alumnus Andrew Mangeris, we’re building high schools, supporting online university centers and providing critical services like free healthcare for Indigenous families. Together, we’re creating brighter futures and opening doors of opportunity for students and their communities in some of the world’s most underserved regions.

Caring Hands Foundation has led service projects around the world. Since 2012, we have performed charitable services all over the world, including Ecuador, Peru, Africa, Mexico, the Philippines, Haiti, the United States and the British Virgin Islands.

Educational Initiatives in Chiapas, Mexico

Chiapas is the poorest state in Mexico, with a 76% poverty rate, including over one-third in extreme poverty (earning less than $1.90/day). In Chiapas, communities where over 70% speak an indigenous language, 55% are illiterate, and indigenous students learn Spanish as a second language. Only 43% of rural indigenous children complete primary school, 5% complete secondary school, and less than 1% attend university – far behind the rest of Mexico.

Building Schools and Enhancing Education

During our service trips, we built eight high schools, six online university centers (45 classrooms), three community kitchens, and four computer centers in Chiapas. We have impacted about 5,000 high school students and over 300 university students.

Through strategic alliances with high school and university institutions such as UNACH and COBACH, we continue to operate four university centers. In 2018, 16 indigenous students were part of the first generation of university students in their community. To date, we have supported about 300 college students, including over 90 college graduates. Our university centers serve over 160 college students and we support students at three other university locations.

Alumni Career Mentorships

Our graduates can participate in a career mentorship program. Our alumni include entrepreneurs (e.g., internet companies, bakeries, honey businesses, etc.), academic content translators (from Spanish to native languages), teachers, lawyers, and human rights advocates.

Creating a Lasting Legacy

We have turned communities with some of the lowest to highest high school graduation rates. Before Caring Hands, on average, one student could attend university without graduating. Today, for example, about 40% of high school graduates in Chalam attend university. Our program has set a new standard of excellence and has been replicated in other communities. We have earned recognition from state officials in Mexico. We are breaking the cycle of poverty.
