To effectively pursue his humanitarian principles, the Goodwill Ambassador to UNICEF and five time Grammy Winner, established the Ricky Martin Foundation in Puerto Rico, to advocate for the well being of children around the world.

From the outset, Martin and his staff decided to create programs that secure their rights. As facilitators and strong believers in partnerships with international organizations, the private sector, local non-profits, and individuals the Ricky Martin Foundation continues to evolve. Our voice in alliance with other sectors is committed to defend the most fragile population against modern forms of slavery and to provide them a safer world through wellness initiatives.

To further uphold our principle of social justice, we launched People for Children, a global initiative to educate, denunciate and support the international framework for the elimination of human trafficking, especially minors. This unscrupulous market is only preceded by the trafficking of drugs and arms. UNICEF estimates that 1.2 children are victims of this global nightmare every year.

We welcome you to join our fight as an advocate of children’s rights.
