Why we serve here:
Many children in the Dominican Republic are stuck in a cycle of poverty.
Problems:
Hunger
Neglect
Abuse
Abandonment
Lack of Education
40% of Dominicans are below the poverty line.
Over 200,000 immigrants have come to the Dominican from poorer countries.
We envision a world where every child learns that they have a hope and a future.
