Reaching the Unreachable in the Poorest Parts of the World

Environmental education, sheltering and schooling, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Santo Domingo, the capital city of the Dominican Republic, has many poor sectors where schools are lacking and children are left without schooling to lead a precarious life. The "Hogar-Escuela Maria Milagrosa" was set up to remedy this acute problem in one of the poorest parts of the city. This is an educational and training centre providing sheltering and schooling for 96 street children whose ages range from 5 to 14. There are, however, 45 children of different ages on the waiting list. GHF has been approached to assist in providing funding and technical support.

We aim to provide technical assistance and funding support in order to upgrade this centre. This is accomplished through staff training and curriculum development, as well as the building and furnishing of the needed annexes for classrooms and workshops.   

GHF support until 2005 will help to accomodate all of the street children of this poor sector of the city.
