António Varela, successful businessman, philanthropist and man concerned about poverty and social inequality in Cape Verde

In the United States of America, António Varela has invested in the jewelry sector. He is the proud owner and proprietor of Warren Jewels, a renowned store in the city of Brockton, Massachusetts, which has become synonymous with quality and trust. His success is not only due to the brilliance of the precious stones he sells, but also to the solidity and ethics with which he runs his business. Varela has prospered, turning the American dream into reality, but material comfort has not diverted him from his greater purpose.

Despite his hectic life abroad, António Varela has kept his focus on the needs of Cape Verde. His awareness of the difficulties faced by many of his countrymen, especially on the island of Brava, led him to take deeper and more organized action. With a vision that goes beyond profit and embraces charity, Varela founded the Nilza Varela Foundation.

This foundation, named in honor of a precious memory, her mother, is today a beacon of hope and an essential engine of support.

The Nilza Varela Foundation is dedicated to offering direct assistance, whether through essential goods, financial support or local development projects, where every year, the foundation reaches out to dozens of people in need, providing vital support that eases the burden of poverty and offers opportunities.

António Varela is more than a successful businessman; he embodies the spirit of generosity and the strength of the ties of the Cape Verdean diaspora. His story serves as an inspiration, showing that social advancement and professional success can and must go hand in hand with social responsibility. He is a living example of how, by shining in America, you can also shine in the land of your birth. Warren Jewels' brilliance is thus reflected in the hope lit in the hearts of the families supported by the Nilza Varela Foundation in Cape Verde.
