About Orphans International Dominican Republic
Orphans International Dominican Republic is the newest project in formation and needs our help.
Casa Ana, operating under the umbrella of OIDR was designed to address the needs of children ages 5-16 who live in the poverty stricken city of Azua, DR, without access to any resources for their advancement. The main focus is to get children off the streets and into a safe environment. Casa Ana will provide them with educational tools as well as counseling services, thereby instilling hope and helping them create a vision for the future so that they can become productive citizens and, in turn, give back to their communities.
English classes, computer classes & homework help are the focal point of the curriculum. Family counseling is an important aspect of the program as it will address certain prevalent issues which affect the children's emotional health and well being. The founder and program director of Casa Ana recently returned to school to earn an additional degree in the clinical counseling field specifically to carry out this mission. Physical health and proper nutrition will also be addressed and monitored. Initially, orphans will have priority, but Casa Ana plans to expand to accommodate as many children as possible from the town, with the hope that this project can be used as a model for other similar centers throughout the entire Dominican Republic.
