Making A Meaningful Choice


We hope this message finds you well and inspired to make a positive impact! At Dove Youth Development we're dedicated to empowering children in the Dominican Republic by ensuring they have access to education. This begins with the need for a school uniform. For our children at Dove, this is what a normal day looks like: 10:00 am: Early morning kids arrive at Dove. Afternoon Dove kids are at school for 3-hours of Public Education. 12-2pm the kids head home to have their first meal of the day to hold them over until they return home. 2:00 pm: Afternoon kids arrive at Dove Attending their local public school, the next three hours are dedicated to soaking in knowledge, guided by their educators. The kids:

  • Eagerly assist with family chores.

  • Contribute to the household and learn valuable life skills in the process.

  • Many often takes on a role of a caring sibling during this time. With younger brothers and sisters to look after, their patience and guidance contribute to the family.

Their dedication and willingness to help speak volumes about their character and the values they hold dearly.


Your contributions extend far beyond the classroom walls, empowering children to become responsible, compassionate, and engaged members of their community. Every moment they spend at Dove, school, home and every interaction they have is a testament to the positive influence you're making in their lives to break generational habits. Did you know that the cost of a school uniform for a child in the Dominican Republic is $75? We want to take a moment to put this into perspective and show you how your generosity can make a lasting difference. Imagine, for a moment, some of the non-essential items we often spend money on in the United States and Canada: - A night out at a restaurant - A new gadget or accessory - A few months of streaming services These are all enjoyable experiences, but what if we could redirect that same $75 towards providing a child with a school uniform? Your donation could mean the world to a young student, opening doors to education, self-confidence, and a brighter future. Together, we can create change and offer opportunities for a better tomorrow. Your donation of $75 can truly transform lives.

Thank you for being a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change. We deeply appreciate your support in helping us provide essentials like school uniforms to children in need. With gratitude, Dove Youth Development
