Strengthening and supporting families in Dominican Republic
Supporting vulnerable children in their home communities through family strengthening, local adoption, and crisis response.
Largest economy in the Caribbean
Dominicana Republica (DR) is a beautiful, tropical country ranked as the top Caribbean destination. While tourists often travel to visit the DR’s five-star resorts, many people who call this island home have a different life experience. Women have a much higher unemployment rate in the DR, and one-third of the population lives below the financial poverty line.
