Our Story
Soymas Foundation was born from the vision of social-impact leader Barbara Etcheberry, who saw that empowering young mothers required more than charity — it demanded education, opportunity, and research. What began in Chile as a holistic program helping women break cycles of poverty has now grown into a U.S.-based foundation that funds education today and studies systemic barriers for tomorrow, building a bridge of knowledge and opportunity that can transform lives across borders.
