The Problem
100,000+ kids not in school
Did you know that over 100,000 children in the Dominican Republic are denied education every year? Every child in the community of Friusa deserves a chance at education, and we are determined to make that happen. Together, we can rewrite this story and provide education to all kids in this community.
Barriers to Education
Why are so many children in the Dominican Republic denied an education? The reasons are many:
- Overcrowding: Public schools are filled beyond capacity.
- Lack of Resources: Schools have insufficient books, supplies, and facilities.
- Need for Better Teacher Training: Teachers need more support and training to provide quality education.
Right now, there are 75 kids from the Friusa area on our waiting list to be admitted to Hope Academy. Our issue is not a lack of space, but a lack of financial resources.
The Education Changes Everything Day of Giving Campaign is dedicated to raising $20,000 to bring quality education to the children of Friusa, Dominican Republic.
