Fundación Puertas Abiertas de Erika Ender

Opening Doors to a Brighter Future

Founded by the Panamanian singer-songwriter Erika Ender, the FUNDACIÓN PUERTAS ABIERTAS is a Non-Governmental Organization, established as a Private Non-Profit Foundation on February 10, 2009, and recognized as a social, non-profit organization by the Ministry of Government through resolution No. 131-PJ-2019, dated May 20, 2019. The Foundation focuses on four Programmatic Areas aimed at the child and youth population of Panama:

Raising Awareness of Children's and Adolescents' Rights.
Child Nutrition through family self-sustainability and the empowerment of mothers.
Comprehensive Education and Training for Adolescents.
Promotion of Culture and Development of Artistic Talents.
Since 2009, and especially with the launch of the TalenPro Project in 2017 (an Inter-school Competition that promotes "Talent with Purpose"), Fundación Puertas Abiertas has achieved a high-impact national reach, benefiting more than 40,000 children and adolescents through educational programs, renovated educational environments, university scholarships, exchanges between students and internationally recognized artists, early childhood nutrition programs, among others. To accomplish this sustained effort, the Foundation relies on a team of highly committed professionals and volunteers dedicated to the rights of children and adolescents, as well as significant partners and sponsoring companies.

Rights of children and adolescents

We promote, through rights, the protection and well-being of children and adolescents, ensuring their holistic development and a safe environment for their growth.

Comprehensive Education for Adolescents

We provide comprehensive education to prepare adolescents for a successful future, both personally and professionally, while also serving as a bridge to their university education.

Promotion of culture and talents

We promote creative expression and talent development among young people to enrich their cultural, personal, and social lives, and to impact the community by using art as a vehicle.

Family Nutrition

We improve family nutrition by creating food and economic self-sustainability, empowering mothers as leaders of the household.

Guinness World Record

Discover TalenPro, the acclaimed project by Fundación Puertas Abiertas that holds the Guinness World Record for the 'Largest Global Social Development Project.' More than just an artistic platform, TalenPro is a true life school, providing finalists with valuable tools for personal and professional growth, preparing them to become agents of change in their communities and awarding them with a university education.

TalenPro

TalenPro, created by Erika Ender, is an interschool competition that combines artistic development with a focus on social impact. Its goal is to empower young people through art and social responsibility, providing them with life skills and educational opportunities while fostering positive change in their communities.

Familias Sostenibles

Sustainable Families empowers families in extreme poverty to achieve nutritional and economic self-sufficiency. Through training in gardening and poultry raising, along with providing resources and technical support, we aim to enable these families to grow their own food, improve their nutrition, and develop skills for long-term self-sustainability.
