Rural medical clinics serving the deep South of Barahona province, twice a week, reaching every community to the border with Haiti.
Providing educational resources to children, youth, and adults so they can build skills and create opportunities for a better future.
Teenage pregnancy is a growing concern in the Dominican Republic. We provide health care, education, and family support so young mothers and their children can build a dignified future.
Welcome to Canada for Human Dignity. We work in the most marginalized communities of the deep South of Barahona province in the Dominican Republic, with programs in Health, Education, Nutrition, and Gender Equality.
We run rural medical clinics twice a week in all towns south to the border with Haiti. We operate a Used Cloth and Furniture Bank, a Diapers Bank for infants and elderly, and a Food Bank. Once a week, without exception, we ease the lives of families across the region.
Every program addresses a fundamental need. Together, they form a complete safety net for the communities we serve in southern Barahona.
We understand health as the foundation of human dignity. Our rural medical clinics provide accessible care twice weekly, treating and preventing conditions that would otherwise go unaddressed in remote communities near the Haitian border.
Our Food Bank operates every week without interruption, ensuring no family faces adversity on an empty stomach. We distribute nutritious food to the families and individuals who need it most across the entire region.
Education is the key that opens every door. We provide resources and support to children, youth, and adults so they can build skills, complete studies, and access employment opportunities that transform their futures.
We firmly believe every person deserves to live with dignity and respect, regardless of race, color, gender, or religion. Our programs actively support women and girls in accessing health, education, and economic opportunity.
"Living with dignity and health is every human's right. We are here to make that a reality in the Dominican Republic."
Canada for Human Dignity is built on the belief that we are all called to help. Bring your skills, your time, and your heart to communities that need you. No distinction of race, color, gender, or religion.
Every contribution, large or small, fuels a medical clinic visit, a week of food for a family, or school supplies for a child. Monetary or in-kind donations power every one of our four programs.
We welcome partnerships with businesses, NGOs, and government agencies. Expanding our reach requires collaboration. If your organization shares our values, we invite you to join this mission.
Whether you want to volunteer, donate in-kind goods, form a partnership, or simply learn more about our work in Barahona, we want to hear from you.
