About the Cause

Posted by Centro de Desarrollo Integral El Bethel in Dominican Republic on 12/09/2025

With the arrival of her first baby, she was forced to leave her community to find work, leaving her baby with her grandmother—a difficult situation for a first-time mother. Later, her other children arrived, and the mother was living in a borrowed place. Seeing how things were going at home, she had the idea to start a business. Buying small snacks and setting up a small table, she began little by little. Thanks to good organization, they were able to move out of the borrowed place and into a small home. There, she and her husband decided to set up a small shop using secondhand materials. Due to financial difficulties and the arrival of another child, the mother was forced to temporarily close the business and find employment. After the pandemic, with the arrival of her second baby, she decided to reopen the business. With the income from her previous job, she was able to reinvest in her business. Through various loans, she was able to buy a refrigerator, among other things, allowing her to be close to her children and provide financial support for her household.
