Why Cuba?

Thousands of tourists travel to the island nation of Cuba each year. In Cuba you will find beautiful beaches, resorts and especially the beautiful Cuban people, but not far from these resort hideaways is the real “Non Tourist” Cuba that exists each day and night. As you search through this webpage, take a few moments to review the photos and challenges each Cuban experiences for daily life….especially the children. We at “Friends to Cuba” are seeking your support and assistance in managing and supporting a few projects along the north shore of Cuba, especially the children’s home/orphanage in Matanzas.

Our Friends to Cuba Director, Jennifer Raymer, has been serving in Cuba for 9 years. She has valued experience and a love and passion for Cuba and the Cuban people and children. She is excited to be on board and continue with the mission through Friends to Cuba. You can learn more about Jennifer here.

Bob & Susan Beer have been serving in Cuba since 2001. Their humanitarian mission work is serving, assisting, constructing and renovating at each of these locations, under the mission name “Friends To Cuba”. This mission provides important tangible needs in renovation, construction, regular maintenance and supply for a children’s home/orphanage, for the large government facility for developmentally challenged children and adults. We also assist in providing specific household & medical needs in a variety of ways to individual families, educators and medical staff in various rural outlying areas.
