The Foundation started in 1990 trough an agropecuarian project in Puerto Rico in the town of   Aguas Buenas, where a property was used to help the local people in cultivating food to sustain  their own families. The introduction of food stamps by the federal government led to the dismantling  of this project and the sale of the land.

    At this time the Foundation was also active in providing  food, medicines, medical care and  clothes to several charity organizations and needed families throughout the metropolitan area of San  Juan up to today.

  The name St. Martin de Porres was  chosen because of the multiple kind of services he gave to  the poor, the sick, the hungry, the thirsty, the abandoned, the discriminated, in the understanding      that God’s  love is inclusive of all, no matter what.

  In the year 1995, an unexpected opportunity arose to acquire 200 acres of agropecuarian land located in the communities of  Paralimón and Dajao, in the Dominican Republic. These communities belong to the Municipality of San José de las Matas, in the  Province of Santiago de los Caballeros.
