CommunityRewards™ Partners With The Juanfe Foundation To Empower and Fundraise For Impoverished Teen Mothers in Colombia With Educational and Job Training Programs

MIAMI, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CommunityRewards™ powered by Points4Purpose, Inc. is pleased to announce its new charity partnership with the Juanfe Foundation, a Colombian-based charity dedicated to empowering young Latina women and moms throughout South America through educational, mental health and job training programs.

Through this strategic partnership, CommunityRewards™ is hosting a fundraiser on its loyalty rewards platform as one of its featured charity organizations so that shoppers can micro-donate a portion of their cashback rewards to the organization and support its on-going efforts to help impoverished women and children in need throughout South America.

As a growing AI-powered loyalty rewards and micro-donation platform that helps businesses enhance their bottom line through charitable giving and rewards marketing solutions, CommunityRewards leadership team is proud to support women in need. "As so many charities across the U.S. and South America continue to see the federal government cut funding, we're working towards bridging the gap and providing charities a new source of micro-funding," said James Trocme, Chief Operating Officer of Points4Purpose, Inc.

CommunityRewards™ is on a mission to transform everyday spending into opportunities for both personal fulfillment and charitable giving powered by encrypted, card-linking technology, generative AI and big data. "This is a first-of-its-kind rewards platform that infuses micro-charitable donations into regular, everyday financial transactions. We hope through this new partnership with Juanfe, the Latin community in Miami with family and friends living in Colombia will take advantage of our free platform to earn cashback and give back to charities like Juanfe that are supporting women and children get out of poverty with job training programs," Trocme continued.

The CommunityRewards™ platform is designed to make it easy for businesses, charities and shoppers alike to join and participate without any IT integration, which is often required with other software solutions. "We've kept it simple with the CommunityRewards platform–Members can join for free, connect their preferred Visa, MasterCard or American Express card to their CommunityRewards™ Member ID, select their preferred charity and the percentage of cashback they wish to donate, and then begin simultaneously earning cashback on qualifying purchases while supporting a great charity like Juanfe," Trocme said.

Juanfe was founded by Catalina Escobar after tragically losing her one and a half year old son. Following his untimely passing, Escobar made it her mission to solve the infant mortality epidemic in Colombia that so many Latina women were battling. "When I first founded Juanfe, with as little as $100, we were able to provide essential medical care and treatments to impoverished young mothers in Colombia and significantly reduce newborn mortality," Escobar said. Fast forward to 2025, after drastically reducing the infant mortality rate, Juanfe has expanded its programs and services to help teenage mothers living in extreme poverty. "This is one of Colombia's and Latin America's biggest socioeconomic problems–teen pregnancy. We've developed new mental health counseling and jobs programs to empower young teen moms with information and respectable jobs that will allow them to support their families. Most recently, we just added a new program within our charity that actively addresses the sex trafficking and sexual abuse crisis affecting so many young, impressionable and impoverished Latina teenage girls in high school," Escobar said.

Juanfe recently expanded its services and programs beyond Colombia to help young Venezuela girls escape the sex work, human trafficking and drug dealing industries by providing technical job training and job placement support, ultimately enabling them to enter the traditional job market and do a job they enjoy with dignity and pride. "We're ecstatic to partner with CommunityRewards to help raise awareness about the adversities that young impoverished girls throughout South America are experiencing. We're also grateful for the micro-fundraising being done on the CommunityRewards™ platform," Escobar continued.
