Welcome to the Sosúa Kids website!  Please look around the site and think about how you can help us to improve the educational opportunities of poor children in The Dominican Republic.

SOSÚA KIDS helps poor children from the Sosúa area of the North Coast of the Dominican Republic to attend school in order to achieve their needs and aspirations and to help in the development of this beautiful and friendly country.

Children in the Dominican Republic are entitled to attend school at no cost, but they must have full school uniforms, backpacks and school materials.

Our primary purpose is to provide school uniforms for children who otherwise could not afford them or go to school. In addition, we help to support individual schools which do not receive government funding and we provide financial support to a small number of children who are continuing their education in university.

From small beginnings in the year 2000 (see our Background page) we have now developed to the stage where in the year 2009/2010 we are supporting more that 300 pupils, including 4 at university.

SOSUA KIDS promises each child that it takes on that it will support them until they complete their education.

If you can, please help us to keep the needs and dreams of these children alive.

 

STOP PRESS:  The new School Year starts soon and lots of poor children need school uniforms and supplies.  Please help us to provide children with these items - which they need in order to be allowed to attend school - by making a donation.
