YC Foundation connects that passion to server with every drop of efforts, to enhance quality of life of underserved people from Angola.
Through music and saving the planet initiatives, we will provide free education and advance research, as well as free quality of health care to underserved populations in the USA, Angola and around the world.
Imagine a child who dreams of becoming a doctor but can’t do his or her homework because he or she is hungry and has no electricity at home. Imagine a young person stuck shining shoes, a low-paying job, because he or she lacks the skills or education to get a better job. This is the harsh reality for many in Waku Kungo, a commune in the municipality of Cela, which is plagued by poverty and has limited access to educational resources.

Testimonials
Successful stories
Dream by dream, we want to continue to advance our strategy in underserved communities, we uphold one fundamental belief: O amor Salva
Being a volunteer in this organization has taught me what a small group of random community-minded people can accomplish. I’m really grateful for the opportunity, and for the motivation to do more. It has been a pleasure volunteering with Yuri da Cunha for the poor people, because it is all of us together for Angola.
