Dominican Republic (DR-Feb-15-2025)

Thank you for your heart to serve in the Dominican Republic!

The Dominican Republic (DR) is often called the “Jewel of the Caribbean”, sharing the island of Hispaniola with Haiti on the West. Known for its many beaches and resorts, it draws many tourists every year.

Despite growing efforts to fight trafficking in the Dominican Republic, it remains to be a significant problem in the country. More than 40% of Dominicans live at risk of falling into poverty due to economic or climate-related issues. (World Bank, 2023) In partnership with local churches and national government, One More Child has helped construct a community that includes more than 94 single-family homes, a police substation, a community transformation center and a church plant. These facilities and infrastructure offer stability to a rural area that suffers from low reading proficiency and responsive paternal support (according to UNICEF).
