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

That’s why our approach provides the guidance, belonging and practical support young people need to thrive – from developing life skills and emotional well-being in childhood to gaining career training and meaningful employment as young adults. Through programs led by trained leaders, children and youth develop self-assurance, resilience, and a solid foundation to grow into healthy, capable young adults who can shape their own futures.
