Dominican Republic Programs and Projects

Self-Development

In 2006 the PC(USA) Self-Development of People program made these grants:

Women’s Development Federation of Guerra, Santo Domingo/Guerra, $20,000 to a factory for purchasing materials to make blocks and to buy a truck in which to deliver them. Block-making has become a viable community economic development project in the Dominican Republic because of the government’s requirement that all homes have a secure room for hurricanes.
