Fundación Niños de Cristo
La Romana, Dominican Republic
The first project that Maestro Cares Foundation ever committed to was funding the construction of Orfanato Niños de Cristo in partnership with Central Romana, Fundación Tecnoglass, and Goya Foods in La Romana, Dominican Republic.
Orfanato Niños de Cristo provides children with a safe home, healthy food, healthcare services, and a high-quality education. The campus is home to up to 50 boys, infants to 18 years old, and includes dormitories, classrooms, a health clinic, a dining hall, and recreational facilities.
This project laid the foundation for our foundation’s mission: improving the quality of life of disadvantaged children and communities in Latin America and the United States by providing housing, educational programming, and the essential resources to support their growth and development. Through our efforts, we are strengthening communities and helping children become tomorrow’s leaders.
