Plan Dominican Republic

AMIGOS partners with the Dominican branch of Plan International, a development organization with global reach. Plan International works in 45 developing countries on health, education, livelihood, housing, water and sanitation projects, and cross-cultural learning. Plan’s vision is of a world in which all children realize their full potential in societies that respect people’s rights and dignity. It works with a participatory approach. Children, their families, and their communities are involved in the design, implementation, and evaluation of all of Plan’s programs. Child sponsorship is the foundation of the organization—there are about one million sponsors in 15 donor countries helping over one million children all over the world, together with their families and communities.

As a member of this overarching network, the Plan office in the Dominican Republic seeks the same ends. They facilitate child sponsorships as well as other community-driven development projects. For more information about this agency, see the website.
