Founded on December 7, 2006, Familias Triunfadoras, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in San Elizario, Texas, dedicated to improving the lives of women, children, and families throughout El Paso County and surrounding communities.
Our organization was established by Maria Covernali in response to the growing need for family-strengthening programs and community resources in underserved areas. Since then, we have remained committed to empowering individuals through education, advocacy, health promotion, and compassionate support.
For nearly two decades, Familias Triunfadoras, Inc. has worked alongside families to provide programs and services that encourage self-sufficiency, improve health outcomes, and create opportunities for lifelong success.
