Children growing up in poverty in the Dominican Republic face serious barriers that can limit their opportunities — including unsafe environments, disrupted education, health and nutrition challenges, and few pathways to meaningful work. 

That’s why our approach focuses on helping children stay in school, gain confidence and thrive in safe, supportive spaces — building the skills they need for the future. Through educational support, health and nutrition resources and other programs led by trained local staff, children develop self-assurance, resilience, and a solid foundation to grow into healthy, capable young adults who can shape their own futures.
