Children standing around a dirt schoolyard surrounded by a wooden fence with red and blue concrete seating cubes in the centerUpgrade to School Yard in Dominican Republic

Cost: $25,000

Your support can provide much needed upgrades to the Espiritu Santo Fe y Alegría School, located in Baní, Dominican Republic. Currently, the layout of the school yard causes it to be dirty and dusty in the dry months and muddy and messy in the wet months. For these reasons, the school yard is rarely used. With more than 800 children attending the elementary school and 500 in the high school, this is a much-needed space for playing, praying, and conversing. With your support the dirt ground can be replaced with concrete, appropriate drainage, playground equipment, and new seating to provide a fun, useful, and contemplative space.

Rain collects in large puddles on an enclosed schoolyard with a sidewalk and a bushGifts of any amount are welcomed, and we will continue raising funds until we meet the goal.
