The Lafayette Foundation serves as the platform through which we design and implement programs such as Hilando Empresa, Uniforms with Love, Social Enterprise, and the Lafayette preschool. These programs focus on capacity building, entrepreneurship, and improving quality of life. We draw on our capacity for innovation, leadership, and empowerment, as well as collaborative efforts that align strategies around the shared goals of a diverse group of stakeholders.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
