Schooling gives underprivileged children a future

We believe that any child who goes to school and receives an education from a safe home base has a greater chance of an independent and happy life in the future.

Since 1979, a group of volunteers has been raising money to give children in the Dominican Republic a future; first as part of Wereldkinderen and from 2011 as an independent Children’s Aid Dominican Republic Foundation.

Sponsors and donors from the Netherlands support children in the Dominican Republic to go to school. Regardless of their health, the financial position of their parents and the religion of the families.

The Dominican Republic occupies the right side of the island of Hispaniola and is located in the Caribbean. The country has a tropical climate and beautiful nature. On the coast, tourism is highly developed in a number of places. But wealth is very unevenly distributed. Besides luxury villa districts, many families live in sad slums and there is great poverty. It is for this last group that we are committed.
