Hope for Dominican Republic is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Several years ago, while on a mission trip to a rural village
in Africa, I realized firsthand that poverty is not merely an economic
condition; it is a grave injustice that robs individuals of their dignity,
opportunities, and basic human rights. Across the globe, millions are trapped
in a cycle of deprivation, denied access to education, healthcare, and even the
most fundamental necessities of life.
How can some of us have so much, while
others have so little?
Our decision to focus humanitarian efforts on the
Dominican Republic stems from a deeply personal connection forged over the past
decade. My husband and I have been visiting this beautiful country for the past
ten years, and with each trip, we've felt an undeniable pull on our hearts to
support its people. Through these journeys, we've witnessed firsthand the
resilience, warmth, and unwavering spirit of the Dominican people. It's as if with each visit, God
has gently nudged us closer to understanding our purpose in helping alleviate
the struggles faced by the communities here.
The vibrant culture, coupled with the
stark realities of poverty and inequality, has ignited within us a profound
sense of responsibility to make a meaningful difference. By focusing our
efforts in the Dominican Republic, we aim to channel our passion, resources,
and commitment towards creating sustainable change, while empowering individuals and
families to build brighter, more hopeful futures for themselves and their
communities.
We do this through following the love of God.
