The Wyss Foundation is excited to announce a $300,000 grant to Pro Mujer, a social enterprise that works to advance gender equality in Latin America.

For more than thirty-five years, Pro Mujer has provided services and resources to women in Latin America to help them reach their full potential, improve their living conditions, and transform them into agents of change in their communities. This grant will help Pro Mujer support women’s health services in Latin America where there is limited access to public and private health services.

“At Pro Mujer, we are committed to empowering women with the knowledge and resources they need to make informed decisions about their health” said Carmen Correa, chief executive officer of Pro Mujer.

“Providing essential healthcare services to women is crucial for fostering an equitable society” said Molly McUsic, president of the Wyss Foundation. “We are proud to support Pro Mujer’s efforts to ensure women in Latin America have access to the services and resources they need.”
