GOOD ACTION FOUNDATION INC

In some isolated rural areas of La Romana (Dominican Republic), we support the Haitian communities of the sugar plantations in the eastern part of the country. It is in those communities –where the population is likely to have limited or no access to outside resources– that Good Action Foundation provides support to needy farming families and vulnerable children.

Public education in the Dominican Republic is in critical condition. Haitian immigrant families, living in the sugarcane plantations of La Romana (Dominican Republic) are struggling to send their kids back to school because of their lack of school supplies, most those kids are girls. We want to provide every child in the area with a full backpack and several school supplies for quality education.

Our goal is to educate slum children from poor and less privileged families like daily laborers, fisherman, house workers and sweepers. Specially we focus on girls in order to empower women in society.
Clean clothes, food, pencils, notebooks and some toys to play were provided to children in the towns of Chittagong and Satkhira.

The situation in El Salvador is difficult, due to the reality of insecurity and violence, which has been increasingly worsen. This situation has consequences for the local population: displacement of families to other places by threats, migration, getting into debt, mental health problems.


In the poor area called La Chacra, most of the population is engaged day by day in the street sale and domestic work. Added to this reality are the effects of the Covid 19 pandemic that has led families to greater poverty, along with the recent tropical storms Amanda and Cristobal who have hit the entire national territory and several families have lost their homes and all their belongings.

Good Action Foundation has helped in the face of this emergency providing the immediate needs: food baskets, clothing, mats, face masks, some medicines, personal hygiene, and cleaning supplies to disinfect the houses.
