The Make It a Better Life Foundation was founded in 1998 due to its founder's personal experience of witnessing a large number of patients in her workplace suffering from the scourge of domestic violence. This evil affects all countries in the world, some more than others, but it is always present in all socio-familial spheres, resulting in the production of many ills for all. It is a situation that affects not only the person involved, but the entire social sphere, including the home, the community, and the entire social environment where domestic violence occurs.
