Luis Enrique Bazan
Executive Director

Luis Enrique was born and raised in Lima, Peru. While a teenager, he visited the shelter that his mother’s organization created to protect street children and teenagers from violence and exploitation. As a result, he developed a close friendship with some of the children.

While studying his M.A. degree at the University of San Francisco, Luis Enrique had the opportunity to visit organizations in different countries that also work to promote and protect the rights of children at risk. This helped him understand the issues surrounding street children around the world, and to identify the specific differences that develop in each culture.

Currently, Luis Enrique works closely with the company’s president, David Batstone, to define the best strategy to network with for-profit and non-profit entities to leverage their assets on behalf of children in crisis.
