PRDesi Cultural & Education Foundation is a 1101.01 approved nonprofit organization dedicated to nourishing, educating, and supporting vulnerable children across Puerto Rico. Founded in 2023, our work centers on providing food security, cultural enrichment, educational resources, and hands-on volunteer service to the communities that need it most.
Our foundation is powered by Puerto Rico’s South Asian community—families who have lived on the island for generations and new residents who now proudly call Puerto Rico home. Guided by Seva, the South Asian principle of selfless service, we believe that caring for the island also means caring for its children, elders, and most vulnerable populations. It is an expression of gratitude, responsibility, and deep respect for the place we call home.
Let’s Make a Difference Together!
Let’s Make a Difference Through Seva (Selfless Service)
At PRDesi, we believe in the power of seva—selfless service that uplifts communities and creates lasting, meaningful change. With more than 150 active volunteers and nearly 400 community members, we work alongside local Puerto Rican organizations to support vulnerable children, strengthen families, and build educational and cultural bridges between the South Asian and Puerto Rican communities. Our team is deeply committed to serving with integrity, compassion, and consistency, ensuring that every initiative reflects our values and benefits those who need it most.
Your support helps us:
• Expand food security programs for children and families
• Grow cultural and educational initiatives for underserved students
• Support minors in protective care with emotional and developmental resources
• Engage more families in hands-on community service
• Strengthen partnerships with child-focused and community-based nonprofits
• Ensure resources reach the communities most in need
• Create long-term, sustainable programs that can continue year after year
Every contribution, large or small, drives meaningful impact. You’re not just funding a nonprofit; you’re helping build a more connected, compassionate, and vibrant Puerto Rico. Your generosity allows us to respond to community needs quickly, partner with trusted organizations, and expand programs that unite people of all ages and backgrounds.
