Our Journey
Queen of the Road Foundation, Inc. (dba QOTRF, Inc.) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Davenport, Florida, USA.
We are an education-focused organization dedicated to teaching children their human rights from the very beginning. In our early years, we provided direct services, but experience revealed a deeper truth: many young and older adults remained stuck, unable to elevate themselves.
Our founder, Eva Hyatt, recognized that one core element was missing — comprehensive human rights education. Without knowledge, children remain vulnerable, and without understanding their rights, they cannot fully see their worth or protect their future.
This realization reshaped our mission. We shifted our focus to creating books and learning tools that teach children their human rights from the very beginning. Our resources also introduce essential life principles — kindness, respect, empathy, teamwork, tolerance, compromise, and community responsibility — because these values help children build healthy relationships, resolve conflict, and contribute to peaceful communities.
Alongside our education work, we continue to support families through community outreach initiatives, including our school feeding program and other efforts that strengthen community and children’s well-being.
When children learn early that they matter, they grow with resilience, responsibility, confidence, and a strong sense of self-worth.
