In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we are spotlighting Xiente, a program that's helping a lot of families in West Kensington, making sure they are successful and have the resources they need.
As Hispanic Heritage Month is about to wrap up, FOX29 News is showcasing Xiente, a major resource in the West Kensington community. "It’s one of the big issues in Philadelphia , a lot of our children and youth are living in poverty," said Adamary Sosa the Vice President of Education at Xiente.Sosa is trying to help change that in her home neighborhood of West Kensington.
All with the goal of creating a path to take people from poverty to prosperity, something they’ve been doing for more than 40 years in the historically strong Latino community of West Kensington. "Back in the day this area was predominantly Puerto Rican. What happened was they came from the Spring Garden section, the Northern Liberties section, and when that area started getting gentrified they were pushed into this area," said Sosa.
