Dominican Feed the Kids Charity: Our kids

'Dominican: Feed the Kids' works primarily with the Haitian community in the villages which are poverty stricken due to closure of the sugar factory. The majority of these people were laborers in the cane fields and now are without any source of income to support themselves.

Our primary purpose is to feed the many children in these villages through a feeding program, and to help the parents to be able to look after their children in a healthy and supportive enviroment.

Through family sponsorships, we supply a food supplement program to help feed those that cannot afford enough food for their families.

God Bless,

Bill and Donna Reimer

ABOUT US

Dominican: Feed the Kids was founded seven years ago by Jim and Sue Coates and operates in Sousa, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Our mission is to be a Lifeline for Forgotten People. 100% of all donations are given to those whoe need it the most.

PROGRAMS

We raise money for a number of programs to provide families with food packages to supplement their meager means for feeding their families each week. Please take a look at our programs and then at how you can help us.

DONATIONS

We can accept donations through PayPal or you can send donations to The Emmanuel Church. You can sponsor a specific area of our programs or if you feel you cannot carry a full sponsorship you can send a one time donation.

First and fore most we want to tell you how much you are appreciated for your contributions in every way to the programs of “Dominican Feed the Kids”. Without you we would not be able to feed and clothe the children of Villa Ascension and Puncha Mateo.

The 2011 feeding program provided approx 20,000 meals for hungry children under the age of 12 years. 30+ babies were supplied with their basic food needs of formula or milk, plus cereal or oatmeal, depending on their age. The “send a kid to school” drive was very successful, sending 14 kids to school with everything necessary and many others supplied with books and pencils.

Many medical costs were covered including some major operations. Sponsors covered an operation on a small child's foot enabling him to walk, which would not have been possible without the surgery. Many small children and all newborns were supplied with mosquito nets resulting in a significant reduction in the number of cases of dengue fever, a serious health risk to young children in the village.

Our budget in 2011 was approx $40,000 dollars, this is amazing and we humbly thank you our donors. We would like to say a special thank you to our regular sponsors who have supplied for 50+ families throughout the year with food supplement bags. This is over and above our priority programs of feeding the children.

To those of you who have donated toward these and the special requests that have surfaced throughout the year...a big THANK YOU!
