Our mission is to empower individuals and communities to live purposefully and make a positive impact through sustainable programs addressing spiritual, physical, and mental well-being.

Our Founder

Nydia Cruz

The genesis of Living-N-Purpose dates back to a pivotal moment when its founder, Nydia Cruz, embarked on a mission to Uganda, Africa. Witnessing the challenges faced by children, youth, and women in the region, Nydia Cruz was moved to establish a not-for-profit organization rooted in Christian principles. Since its inception, Living-N-Purpose has been dedicated to uplifting communities through humanitarian efforts, guided by a vision of empowerment and service.

 

Nydia Cruz, a New York City native of Puerto Rican heritage, has embarked on transformative mission trips spanning Guatemala, Peru, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Colombia, and Uganda. Her journey of service has been deeply rooted in her local church community, driven by a fervent desire to embody the teachings of Jesus by selflessly serving others. 

 

Nydia's connection with Uganda was immediate and profound during her first visit in 2019, leading her to discern a calling to relocate and dedicate herself to serving its people, while remaining open to wherever the divine path may lead her. Her ultimate aspiration is for individuals to experience the transformative love of Jesus, guiding them towards their true calling. Nydia's educational background includes graduation from the Antioch School of Urban Ministry with a Bachelor's degree in Biblical Studies.
