What your giving powers

Programs that change lives

Food assistance

$13,900.98 in groceries for families in 2025, part of more than 40,000 pounds of food distributed since our first mission trips.

Education

192 virtual English classes connected students with teachers and new opportunities. Educational resources reached more than 350 learners, and in 2025 we created a safe space where children can study and attend classes out of the elements.

Human trafficking awareness

Monthly classes help children, adolescents and families recognize the warning signs and stay safe.

Scholarships and sports

Young athletes stayed on the soccer field through sponsored scholarships and transportation. Dare to Dream 2026 set out to impact the lives of 800 children across Latin America.

Christmas Without Barriers

RTU has delivered Christmas gifts, toys and dental hygiene kits to more than 1,100 children, in Medellín with Fundación Abrazando Historias and Fundación Solo Vida, and in Santo Domingo with local law enforcement. Starting in 2026, we are also partnering with Katherine Muñoz’s Navidad Sin Barreras.

Disaster relief

When catastrophe hit, RTU shipped clothing to the families affected, covering $1,189.60 in freight to get donations where they were needed most.
