Reaching U is a non-profit organization located in the United States, which works for low-income mothers and children in Uruguay. Since its creation in 2001, Reaching U has been distinguished by its professional approach to management, its transparency, and the support and hard work of a large number of people who want to give back to Uruguay some of the opportunities, experiences, and resources to which they have access in the United States.

Reaching U has formal working groups in New York, Miami, and Montevideo, as well as members and volunteers working and sending their support from many other US cities. The chief objective of the US teams is to raise money through events, and run specific fundraisers. But it is the Reaching U members that the organization relies on to continue its activities, and the sponsors who consistently support its projects. A number of contributors have also funded specific projects. Reaching U is always looking for new members, volunteers, and collaborators so that it can help more women and children in Uruguay. Thanks to everyone's support, in less than four years Reaching U has invested about US$ 350,000 in various Uruguayan organizations.

If you have ideas or resources you would like to share, you can work with the foundation through this site or contact us.

Reaching U Uruguay is an integral part of the foundation located in Montevideo, Uruguay. It identifies new projects that impact the community, and closely monitors the projects Reaching U decides to support.
