Dominican Republic

Bienvenidos a República Dominicana!

Cultivating hope and independence for children, families, & communities in the Dominican Republic.

Located within the bustling communities and countryside of the Dominican Republic, Kids Alive empowers children, families, and communities to become agents of change through restorative education in our seven schools and protective care in our three residential campuses. We’ve been beacons of hope for over 30 years and see the impact of children becoming servant leaders in our programs. Our goal for each child is to know the love of God, to understand they are cherished, and to be equipped with the emotional, physical, and spiritual tools they need to thrive.

Transformation

Cristina’s story

From a home fraught with domestic violence, Cristina entered a Kids Alive sports program. There she found encouraging and safe mentors to guide her on a Christ-focused path and away from the prostitution and early marriage that seemed likely. With the help of ministry workers, Cristina moved to another Kids Alive town, where she began working in our Safe Haven campus while completing her degree as a psychologist. This year, she received a full scholarship to a Biblical counseling certificate program and is excited to add a Christian foundation to her secular psychology education!

Safe Haven

Support Safe Havens

Our goal with our safe haven programs is for every child to experience the blessing of a safe & loving family.

“Safe Havens” are Kids Alive’s global programs that focus on family strengthening through family care centers, protective care through residential homes and foster care, or justice advocacy through justice centers. Our goal is to bring a team of professional staff dedicated to meeting each child’s unique needs for health, justice, and emotional healing as needed by the unique circumstances of the child. These teams work tirelessly, in whichever Safe Haven they enter, to lead children to emotional health, equip the child and their family for independence and service, disciple them to a transforming relationship with God, and when needed, help them find justice and freedom from fear. Your support makes a big difference in the lives of the vulnerable children, families, and communities we serve. Every contribution directly impacts their path to healing and justice. Become a Safe Haven Champion today and support our efforts to empower children, families, and communities.

Reunification

brothers reunified with their mom

Coming from a single-parent household with limited resources, four brothers arrived at one of our residential facilities when they were malnourished and in need of care. After years of nurturing their physical and emotional well-being, our team explored the possibility of reuniting them with their mother. Their mother eagerly welcomed them back into her home through spiritual guidance and support, embracing her newfound faith and calling to raise her children. The boys are thriving in their family environment, with their mother providing love, support, and essential care. When it comes to reunification, this is the ideal scenario, where we can come alongside families to help them be healthy examples of Christ’s love. You can help more families on their journey to healing and reunification by donating today.
