IDDI is dedicated to increasing the quality and access to education for the children throughout the provinces of the Dominican Republic

Currently, there are numerous projects; however, two areas of focus are in the rural communities surrounding the sugar mills of Angelina and Cristóbal Colon, and the Monte Plata Province.

The goal is to reduce the educational disparities in these children, avoid dropouts that will include teacher and family participation to integrate the community in the teaching process.

Specifically, the main goals are:

• The educational reinforcement of the children
• Educating the parents, concentrating in literacy
• Teach the importance of education as a resource to get out of poverty
• Strengthen the volunteer promoter network that resides in the impacted area
• Providing the educators additional skills to elevate their educational levels
• Seek out students in an area, providing them support to become future educators.
