Our purpose is the application of philanthropy to financially support direct social assistance efforts among forgotten communities with particular focus on the improvement of the living, educational, and physical wellbeing of those most in need. Entirely committed to raising the living conditions of those less fortunate, Gaudium et Spes works very closely with community and religious leaders to identify humanitarian projects to fund, with a preference for those who assist in the eradication of child poverty. Likewise, Gaudium et Spes provides assistance in the preservation of the historical and cultural patrimony of Puerto Rico and beyond.

Entirely run through the volunteering of experts and professionals, Gaudium et Spes’ main objective is to see Puerto Rico and its communities restored economically and socially.
