How It Started

Our Journey to
Make a Difference

The Yaryura family has a strong passion for travel and compassion to help others. Through this passion, the Yaryura family has met wonderful individuals who are making a difference in their own communities. As a result of these meaningful encounters, we began to question: "How can we change the lives of those that have changed ours?"
The Yaryura family has successfully funded educational endeavors, paid for emergency surgeries and purchased livestock to help develop community farms. We invite you to join us in making a difference by helping impressive and motivated individuals and families increase their access to basic needs.

We thank you for being on this journey with us!

"Before StrongHER, I struggled to feed my children and had no hope for their education. Now I have my own income from farming and crafts, and my son is in school. For the first time, I can dream about our future."
