Maestro Cares Foundation was founded in January 2012 by international pop icon Marc Anthony and businessman Henry Cárdenas to improve the quality of life of orphaned and disadvantaged children throughout Latin America and the United States.

Maestro Cares Foundation works to achieve this mission by providing housing, educational programs and essential resources to support child growth and support. Our programs create the leaders of tomorrow by stimulating the confidence, enthusiasm and discipline necessary for these children to become workers, adults with a social conscience and to have a positive impact on the world through their own contributions.
