It is our desire and prayer that children and families will be drawn to Christ as they experience God's grace poured out through the partnership and opportunity provided through Hands of Hope and the local churches.
Many of the children in the Dominican Republic do not have the opportunities in life that we consider basic. Many suffer from malnutrition, making growth and development difficult. Many lack the opportunity to attend school, where they can grow and contribute to the betterment of their community.
