In the face of hardship receiving powdered milk can feel like a life-saving gesture when it just can’t be sourced anywhere close by – and can cost up to 3x a monthly salary. But, this is not a one-time story. Every quarter with your support – Luis will receive another shipment for his community. And the families in Vinales will know they’re not alone. There are people in other nations who share their resolve.
Rural Farming Community
Amy Warren
Co Founder, Shared Resolve · November 2026
Deep in the heart of the world’s finest tobacco country, Viñales is a rural community that leans deeply on each other to sustain a shared life off the land.
- The NEED
MogoteArt - nature's enchanting hub to community & service
Tucked away in the lush hills – known as mogotes- is a countryside bed & breakfast establishment run by Luis, a local owner who faithfully distributes aid with meticulous care to his neighborhood – and we get to participate!
- The Relationship
How we were connected
A delightful place to stay & dine, MogoteArt was discovered as a wonderful experience to feel a part of nature & community. That’s how our relationship began with Luis. But it quickly grew as his leadership skills became apparent.
“I’ve already made the bags – personalized to distribute from the inventory you shipped to me. I’ve divided in order of the composition and level of needs for each family. I’ve sent photos. Here we’re without electricity for more than 24 hours at a time and zero cell service or internet. Thank you for everything!”
– Luis
- The Response
What donors, volunteers, and partners did
When the fuel shortage and humanitarian crisis hit in early 2026, we reached out to Luis to identify the top needs for the community. In April, donors sent 259 lbs of aid which he promptly and carefully distributed by hand to 19 families in need.
- The Impact
What changed
Nineteen families received packages of humanitarian supplies according to their top needs including: cooking oil, powdered milk, beans, soup, olives, canned vegetables & meat, eggs, rice, crackers, coffee, baby food and soap.
