In the Dominican Republic, 32% of the population struggles daily living below the poverty line of $5.50 per day. It’s heartbreaking to think of the challenges that so many families face just to survive.
But there is hope. Mentors International is making a difference in the lives of those in need. Our organization provides personalized training on business and financial decisions and vocational classes that focus on life skills, leadership, and commitment. We believe that every individual has the potential to achieve success and create a better life for themselves and their families.
Through ongoing mentorship and small loans, we help our Socios invest in their businesses and improve their financial stability. With our support, they have been able to not only provide for their families but even thrive during difficult economic times. It’s truly inspiring to witness their resilience and determination.
In January 2022, we opened our first Learning and Mentoring Center in Santo Domingo, allowing us to serve the entire Dominican Republic and expand our services virtually to other Caribbean countries. We are also proud to partner with local organizations to assist survivors of human trafficking, recent immigrants, and poverty-stricken families achieve self-reliance.
We urge you to join us in caring for the people of the Dominican Republic. With your support and compassion, we can continue to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need.
