CARITAS Program in the Dominican Republic
Help Orphan Girls in Desperate Need
The Dominican Republic is frequently pummeled by hurricanes and tropical storms that significantly impact the lives of poor people. Over 34% of Dominicans live below the poverty line. In addition, many Haitian children fled here; orphaned after the 2010 earthquake.
In the Dominican Republic, CARITAS For Children’s ministry is supported by the Carmelite Sisters of the Teresas of Saint Joseph. This religious congregation specializes in running schools and orphanages across many regions of Latin America, providing orphan children with a safe place to live, clean water to drink, food to eat, a strong education, and a nurturing spiritual environment.

CARITAS For Children offers child sponsorships for the orphans at Casa Hogar Teresa Toda in the Azua province. The Hogar (orphanage) specializes in the care of female children located in San Juan de la Maguana Diocese.
Please help us to continue offering young girls an opportunity to be housed and educated in this boarding Primary and Secondary School Program. Thank you for your consideration and support.
