Joel feels so grateful to be a part of this literacy class and states that he has you to thank Pradeep for giving him the opportunity to continue learning. Joel moved to the Dominican Republic after the earthquake two years ago, and through these Spanish classes he is beginning to feel like he has his feet on the ground again.

Joel can now confidently integrate into society, and feels blessed to have been given the opportunity to do so. Learning Spanish will help Joel get a better job and take care of his family.

Thank you Pradeep!

Carolina can now take comfort in that knowing she has access to health care thanks to your donation Tom. Carolina is a mother of two from the community of Guaricanos here in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Before she took out a loan with Esperanza, she never had access to health services, and feels so grateful to have access to essential women’s health exams. Tom, your kind donation has not only provided Carolina with this exam, but the vital knowledge of its importance.

Thanks again Tom, Carolina can now rest assured she is a healthy mother for her children!

Carmen is now another one of Esperanza’s healthy mothers thanks to donors like you, Keith!

Carmen is a young mother living in Villa Mella, a district of Santo Domingo, which is the capital of the Dominican Republic. Before taking out a loan with Esperanza, she never had consistent access to proper health care. Esperanza understands that in order to be successful in your business, you and your family need to have accessible health care. Because of this, the organization offers health care services to their clients and their family members. Carmen was able to receive a women’s health exam thanks to your $25 donation Keith, and for this she is ever grateful.

She can now rest assured knowing she can wake up to a healthy and bright tomorrow!

Thanks to your donation of $15, Danila was able to receive an essential cavity prevention program. Our cavity prevention programs not only consist of a dental cleaning, but also an essential lesson about how to properly care for your teeth so you can assure they are healthy and strong for the future.

Keith, your donation has permitted Danila to keep her teeth healthy not only for today, but for the future as well!

Danila says “Gracias!”

Carla is a beautiful and bright 12 year old Dominican living in the town of Puerto Plata with her family. Because of your donation of a cavity prevention program, Carla was able to learn proper brushing techniques as well as receive a fluoride treatment!

This was all able to happen because Carla’s mother is an associate of Esperanza, and strives for a better life for herself and her family. Annie, your donation in collaboration with Esperanza, made it possible for Carla to receive this service today, and I can assure you, it has made an everlasting imprint in her life.

Thanks again Annie, Carla can continue smiling!

Ariel just received his cavity prevention program here in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, and has you to thank Annie!

Ariel is 30 years old and never had access to dental programs such as these. He can now make sure his mouth is free of any harmful infection, as well as take home crucial knowledge about how to practice preventative measures for the future.

Annie, your donation has made an impact not only for Ariel, but also for all who surround him. For this he is eternally grateful!

Gracias!

After the devastating earthquake in Haiti, thousands were displaced and had to start from scratch. There are millions of Haitians living in the Dominican Republic, and most lack access to essential rights such as health care and education. Esperanza provides services to those who need it most, and 40% of those are Haitian, but many do not speak the native Spanish language.

David, your donation has made it possible for Antolin and his classmates to receive this essential literacy program. All class members arrived with no Spanish knowledge, thus making it difficult to continue their studies. In this class they are learning basic grammar and phrases so they can begin to integrate into society.

Thank you so much David for making this possible for Antolin and his classmates, you have made an impact more than you know!

Margarita is an associate of Esperanza in the Dominican Republic who was able to benefit from your donation of a cavity prevention program. Because of the loan she took out to start her own micro business, Margarita and her family are also able to benefit from the heath and literacy programs that Esperanza offers.

This cavity prevention program is an example of one of these complementary services. Thanks to your donation Kim, Margarita and others like her are able to receive fundamental services such as these. Margarita states that she now has improved health, a feeling that Margarita states is indescribable.

Gracias Kim!

This is Emily and her Kindergarten class seen here in the Dominican Republic.

Thanks to your collaborative efforts Emily is able to continue nurturing her ever growing curiosity! It is essential for Emily and her classmates to start building a solid foundation for their futures today so that they can continue striving for a brighter tomorrow.

Your combined donations have made it possible for Emily and her classmates to stay enrolled in their school Tu Hogar Cristiano and receive an education. For this you have left an everlasting impact!

Thank you!

Thanks to your collaborative efforts, Luis is given the gift of an extended education! Luis is a kindergarten student at “Tu Hogar Cristiano” and is now able to continue attending classes thanks to your sponsorship of a year of kindergarten. Luis is just a representative of the countless children in the Dominican Republic who do not have the means or resources to receive a well rounded education, but Luis, unlike most students, has the support of all of you.

Each of your $25 donations was combined to provide Luis with a full year of education and for this he is eternally grateful. Thank you for making an impact in the life of Luis and his classmates.

Luis says “Gracias!”
