Maestro Cares Foundation is a Non-Governmental Organization whose mission according to their website is to "improve the quality of life of orphaned and disadvantaged children in Latin America and the United States. They do so by providing housing, educational programming and the essential resources to support their growth and development so they can become tomorrow’s leaders." Maestro Cares was founded in January 2012 by Chief Executive Officer and President of Cardenas Marketing Network, Inc. Henry Cardenas and international pop icon and singer, Marc Anthony.

As of 2019, Maestro Cares has worked on at over a dozen projects and plans to begin work on at least three more by the end of the year.

Orfanato Niños de Cristo, Dominican Republic
Maestro Cares' first project, 'Orfanato Niños de Cristo,' is located in La Romana, Dominican Republic. The building of the orphanage received several large-scale donations including 5,000 meals to over 200 children donated from GOYA Foods, Inc., the Hispanic-American food company. Today, it continues to house up to 50 boys in the Dominican Republic.

Project MABA, Peru
'Project Maba' was launched in 2015 with the goal "to deliver high-quality programming to disadvantaged children in Lima, Peru." More specifically, they provide a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) curriculum for grades 1-3. The Foundation partnered with The Hochschild Foundation, and TecSup, and Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología (UTEC) to sponsor the project and provide 376 children with more than 50 tablets, 13 newly trained teachers, and 12 classrooms.
