Luperón and the Earthquake in Haiti

With the devastation in Haiti, we ask you to keep our neighbors in your thoughts and prayers. After speaking to our families in the Luperón area, they are all safe and well. The earthquake did not reach town nor the outlying villages and they are carrying on with their lives as before. Thankfully, our friends and families were spared. Join us as we continue to help the Dominican Republic and pray for the people of Haiti.

WELCOME!

We at “The Village” Mountain Mission are committed to the

service of those in need. Between our construction projects and medical missions, we have helped upwards of 4,000 people in the Dominican Republic. Results of our endeavors include:

  • Construction of clean, dry homes for families.
  • Completion of new churches.
  • Supply 6 schools and over 400 students with educational supplies.
  • Help to provide clothing for families in more than five villages per year.

But our goal is not only to simply build homes, rather to build relationships with people that will last for years to come. We seek to provide life-changing experiences for our participants and the people they come into contact with.

In addition, we are extremely proud of our efforts in the medical field. “The Village” brings a large variety of health care professionals and students to conduct clinics in rural villages through our Health Field Studies Program. Each team conducts educational sessions for a group of local women called Healers in addition to home visits during their trip to evaluate the medical condition of patients from new-borns to the elderly, and to help in any way possible.

In addition to basic medical care, our crews also run a dental sealant program to prevent tooth decay, perform oral surgeries, test patients’ vision and issue glasses. Our overall goal is to prevent in children the conditions we see in their parents.

C.A.R.E. Project

  • Only 1 in 2 children in the Dominican Republic finish the 4th Grade.
  • 1 in 4 go on to finish 8th Grade.
  • 24,000 people worldwide die on a daily basis due to hunger; 70% are children.

We began asking the question, “How can we empower them to make the difference?” It starts with the children. Another Chapter of “The Village” is being born as we start thinking about having a greater affect on the lives of the Dominicans.
