MEET OUR PARTNERS

Yspaniola

Yspaniola has collaborated with residents since 2009 to foster opportunities for underserved communities. It focuses on education, literacy, and social equity in a region shaped by migration and deep economic need. Since 2021, Yspaniola has expanded its impact by bringing its sustainability-focused programs to urban communities in Los Mina. These programs address systemic challenges through education, menstrual health awareness, and skills development for at-risk youth.

Education Across Borders

Education Across Borders works in 5 rural communities in the Cibao region of the Dominican Republic, using our Full Circle model of Health, Education, and Service.
Their Full Circle model helps individuals and communities establish and maintain basic health access, graduate from primary, high school, and college, and return the benefits through empowered community service. To these ends, EAB provides basic housing, medicine, sanitation, clean water, school supplies, transportation, tuition and text support, mentoring, experiential learning, and reflection-focused service programs.
