Mission StatementQualitas of Life is a non-profit organization that provides financial education to Hispanic immigrant families in New York in order to foster their financial security and improve their standard of living. About UsLack of information and access to basic financial services is a pressing issue for Hispanic immigrants, a rapidly growing community in New York. This problem deprives immigrants and their families of economic opportunities, prevents them from establishing financial security and stability, makes them targets for scams and abuses, and hinders their full integration into mainstream American society.
In 2004, Qualitas founder Marcela Orvananos de Rovzar moved to New York City. A Mexican philanthropist with a background in capacity building and fundraising, Marcela was startled by the critical living conditions of Hispanic immigrants and determined to find the means to support this community. After consulting with financial education experts and working closely with community members, Marcela founded Qualitas of Life, a non-profit organization that facilitates immigrants' access to financial literacy programs and financial services. The Board of Directors, which provided the seed money for the project, was formed by a distinguished group of professionals in finance, law, architecture, and academia, all with a demonstrated commitment to social responsibility.
Qualitas financial education workshops began in 2007 and, thanks to the continued support of the Qualitas Board, our committed volunteer base, sponsors and strategic alliances, we have expanded to teach workshops in community centers in all five boroughs of New York City.
