Our
Mission
We turn care into action for low-income communities. We turn their helplessness to hope.



Tanya Watkins founded Why We Care NFP in 2018 after coming face-to-face with her own truths. Adopted at a young age, she grew up in a loving household but always felt something was missing. Tanya saw a reflection of herself in the teen girls she interacted with at the group homes where she volunteered and realized that her life could have been very different. She felt a deep connection with the girls and wanted to show them that there are people out there who care about them and who want to see them triumph. ​Wanting to share the same love she was shown and inspire hope in the people she met, she launched Why We Care NFP with the goal of serving as many people as she could.
