Night-Of Support Celebration Dominicana 2024

Your support helps provide free health care services to approx. 3,500 migrant Haitians who live in “bateyes” surrounding La Romana. Bateyes are impoverished and remote villages (or shantytowns) that are owned by private sugar mill companies. They provide meager sub-standard “housing” (for lack of a better word) for the companies’ Haitian sugarcane cutters and their families. Most bateyes have no fresh water, electricity or access to public transportation and many of the residents suffer from hypertension, malnutrition, mosquito borne diseases, dehydration, injuries, vision loss, viral and bacterial infections, to name a few.
