Plan Dominican Republic: what we do

Plan Dominican Republic helps children to realise their rights through the following core programmes:

• early childhood care and development
• education
• child protection
• community health
• economic development and microfinance
• child and youth participation
• disaster risk reduction.

This includes sustainable strategies to improve child-raising practices for children under 5 through family orientation and community-run day care centres.

These centres prepare children for school using a playful approach. They monitor physical and motor skills and provide early stimulation.

Plan Dominican Republic

Plan has been working in the Dominican Republic since 1987, helping poor children to access their rights to education, health, protection and sustainable livelihoods.

Our work focuses on the South West of the country, helping children and their families in 148 communities to empower themselves to lead their own delopment.

Currently, we are focusing on early childhood care and development as only 35 out of 100 children receive some kind of initial education and it’s an area that receives less attention from the government.
