More than 30% of people in the Dominican Republic live in poverty. When it comes to basic needs, they get what they can afford.
The choice often comes down to medicine or a meal.
Children are especially vulnerable because they depend on others for food and health care. Malnutrition puts their physical and mental well-being at risk. More than half of Dominican students don’t complete their primary or secondary education on time.
Donors like you can flip the statistics. With your support, we work with CitiHope and Sanar una Nación to distribute medical supplies and nutritious meals that empower youth to achieve their potential.
It Starts With a Meal™ — and it starts with you.
Make an impact around the world by donating. And stay tuned for the final chapter of our three-part story!
