Our Goal:
Fostering Growth and Opportunity
Corazones Libres is committed to helping 25–30 students ages 7–16 in Sector Hato Nuevo de Manoguayabo overcome academic and economic barriers. By combining tutoring, mentorship, and monthly nutrition support that reaches 35–40 families, we aim to improve academic performance, increase school attendance, and strengthen family stability. Our goal is to create lasting opportunities for learning and growth that uplift children and their communities.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to break cycles of limitation by equipping students with the academic guidance, life skills, and necessities they need to pursue higher education, meaningful careers, and lifelong stability.
Through our Learning Bridges and Nourished Together programs, we provide academic tutoring, emotional support, and healthy meals that enable children to focus, learn, and dream beyond their circumstances. Led by a team of Dominicans who understand these challenges firsthand, we work within communities to make education accessible, engaging, and life-changing.
We believe that by feeding minds as well as bodies, we can transform hunger into knowledge and knowledge into opportunity for every child and for the future of the Dominican Republic.
Transforming Lives Through Collective Action
Join us in uplifting children through food assistance and educational support in the Dominican Republic. Your help matters!
Why It Matters
In many parts of the Dominican Republic, children’s potential is limited not only by hunger but also by the lack of access to quality education and academic support. When classrooms are under-resourced, and families struggle to meet their basic needs, learning becomes a luxury rather than a pathway forward.
Corazones Libres exists to change that reality from the ground up. Through after-school tutoring, emotional guidance, and family partnerships, we help students build the skills and confidence to stay in school and succeed.
By investing in education alongside nutrition, we are nurturing a generation of thinkers, leaders, and changemakers who can lift their communities toward lasting progress.
Our Future Plans
At Corazones Libres, we are committed to expanding our impact and deepening our support for vulnerable communities both at home and abroad. Looking ahead, our initiatives will focus on:
Empowering Survivors
of Domestic Abuse
Initiating a program to serve victims in both the Dominican Republic and the United States, ensuring access to the resources and the guidance they need to rebuild their lives.
Expanding Educational
and Nutrition
Scaling our educational and meal-kit initiatives to reach more schools and communities nationwide, providing students with the tools and nourishment essential for academic success and overall well-being.
Building Corporate
Partnerships
Strengthening collaborations with Dominican-based corporations to bring industry professionals into classrooms, offering mentorship and career insight that inspire and prepare our scholars for the future.
Creating Pathways
to Employment
Developing internship and job placement opportunities through our corporate partners, enabling our scholars to transition from education to meaningful employment with confidence and purpose.
Together, these efforts reflect our vision of creating a cycle of empowerment: one in which education, opportunity, and compassion open doors to lasting change in the people and communities we serve.
