For a moment, imagine you are not you,
imagine you are someone like Pilar, Norma or Celia,
and put yourself in the shoes of a Latina immigrant entrepreneur…
Can you imagine starting a business?...
in a country that is not your own,
without understanding the language,
without knowing how to navigate a new system
without access to income or funding,
leaving everything you know behind for a chance at a better future.
This is the reality for many of our program participants
when they arrive in this country.
Partner with Prospera to help us reach our goal of $100,000
and support the dreams of our entrepreneurs!
Dreams like those of Pilar, Norma, Jenny Celia, Denisse, Lupita, Stephanie and many more; resilient, brave, hard working women who fight every day in solidarity so that their cooperatives and/or businesses can continue to move forward, and as a result transform their lives and impact their families and community.
Your contribution is vital in making these dreams possible.
All donations will go directly to Latina immigrant entrepreneurs, supporting their business through facilitating their access to tools, skills, networks and capital needed for their projects.
Donate, get your family and friends involved, or help spread the word.
Every contribution counts and can make a huge impact on our community.

“Prospera for me has been like a father or a mother. Ever since Prospera came into my life, it was what I needed. Someone who would hold my hand and accompany me on my journey.“
Pilar Rengifo, Founder The Choclo

To me, Prospera is a connection and an accompaniment. It’s not just the training, but the holistic support that helps us grow at a professional and personal level.”
Norma Muñoz, Founder J.KINNOVATIONS

“For me, Prospera is like a family that is always there supporting me through thick and thin. I dream for other women who come to Prospera to have the same experience that I was able to have: that they feel that they can succeed on their own. That they have the skills, talents and inner strength to be able to achieve what they dream for their family and their businesses.”
Celia Alvarez, Co-founder De Colores Consulting

“Prospera has become a very essential part of my life: in my professional development, with all its support and especially in my personal and emotional development. Many times I’ve wanted to give up, throw in the towel and quit my business to take another path, but I haven’t been able to because I know I have my community behind me and that I have a responsibility to them and myself to keep going.”
Jenny Conejo, Founder Karany Arts

"When I started this journey, it felt like I was pretty much alone… I know that it's my own idea, it's my own business and I become my own boss, but it gets to a point that you feel like, "I won't make it." And when I found Prospera it kind of gave me some sense of guidance and I could call them in and tap them when I need help. It was just a dream, it was just an idea, but when I found Prospera it just made it possible"
Stephanie Segovia, Coffee Expert and Founder of High Grown Coffee

The Prospera community has really opened a lot of doors for me, and I think through my participation in this community I found myself. In the training (Explora) I said, "I belong here”, because I want to be my own boss, I have the dream of being someone in life. I don't want to get stuck, and Prospera paved that way for me. Now I feel like a fulfilled woman. It really is my business, I am part of a business. It's my money, it's what we're investing, what we're doing, and it's for a good cause.
Lupita Vidals, Co-founder Producciones Arcoiris

For me, Prospera has helped me through very difficult times. For example, during the pandemic… it’s a safety net, not only financially, but I also feel like Prospera has helped me a lot emotionally. I didn’t feel alone. They have also provided us with tools they give weekly and monthly to help me to evolve and develop professionally.
Denisse Cardona, General Manager and worker-owner at Professional Eco Cleaning
