La Chispa was created to open doors for young women across the Americas—connecting women in the U.S. with emerging leaders across the diaspora through mentorship, coaching, and creative exchange.
We believe that empowerment grows through proximity, dialogue, and shared knowledge—not dependency.

In Cuba, women make up nearly 60 % of university graduates, yet only 20 % of small business owners. Social and economic barriers—including limited access to professional guidance and networks—often keep their potential untapped. La Chispa bridges that gap by creating mentorship pipelines that pair U.S.-based professionals with young women in our host countries, providing leadership coaching, entrepreneurial education, and personal development tools that can be applied locally.

Our focus is not on monetary transfers, but on skill transfer—supporting growth through community, creativity, and shared experience.

Our goal is simple:
To help women gain the confidence, skills, and connections to transform opportunity into independence.
We believe change begins when women on both sides of the water walk together, share what they know, and light the spark for the next generation.

We’re not just investing in programs. We’re investing in women who invest in each other.
