Purpose & Mission

Latin America is undergoing rapid development in many sectors Yet large numbers of its citizens continue to flee to North America to find what they believe is an improved opportunity to assist their families. But this opportunity often comes at a high cost. Their once stable family support system is disrupted as their families become fragmented and their respective communities become increasingly impoverished by the loss of their energetic entrepreneurs. This downward cycle will continue until individuals find that their own communities are able to provide them with the opportunities they so desperately seek. The mission of United by Friendship is to assist communities to become healthy places where their citizens can live and thrive.

In 2010 the village leaders requested the asssitance of United by Friendship to construct a water system that would provide  clean water to each house hold.  Ubf responded.   Learn More
