Las Hortencias de Yamasa
Center for Children

Our plan is to build an education center in 628 square meter property to bring education closer to rural areas of Yamasa. Education in the rural segments is not only important to eradicate poverty and illiteracy, but also for a variety of other social, economic as well as cultural reasons.

There are many reasons why children may not be in school. Access to transportation in remote areas is one of the main cause. This is why we seek to bring education closer to them, by building an education center for children living in remote ares of Yamasa.

We have secured ownership of the land (628.86 Square meters) and registering the property title at the local municipality.

Yamasá is a small, rural agricultural community 100 kilometers north of Santo Domingo. It is home to many impoverished Dominicans as well as Haitians whose families crossed the border looking for a better life in the sugar cane industry.
