HISTORY
2016
ROSAesROJO was born as a non-profit organization with the mission of providing health and wellness education to Hispanic women and their families in the United States, to prevent chronic diseases.
The work of wellness workshops and mentoring begins through the “El Camino Rojo” program, for Hispanic women in North Texas. Work begins with some community partners in the region. Outreach, mainly, is word of mouth.
2018
ROSAesROJO is chosen as part of the Social Innovation Accelerator Program of the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas. He is 1 of 11 social entrepreneurs in the region changing the narrative to solve social problems in a creative and innovative way.
The United Way Dallas SIA becomes an extraordinary platform to grow, thanks to the support of the financial, social capital and mentors that the organization received.
