Bienvenidos a Jardín de esperanza, Welcome to Garden of Hope…a faith-based nonprofit that would love to have you partner with us as lives are changed in the Dominican Republic through the love of Christ! Our mission at Jardín de esperanza is to walk alongside Dominican women in vulnerable situations and share the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ to help them grow holistically (spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically) through ministry, education, career training, and mental health awareness. In some of the most vulnerable neighborhoods, many spend their time on the streets in effort to find some type of support, which at times can include turning to prostitution, even for teenage girls. Our plan is to target this population of women who are vulnerable (in abusive situations, badly treated, single mothers, lacking guidance and support for employment, and more) through multiple prevention and intervention strategies. Our vision at JE consists of three goals:
*To create a safe place for Dominican women to express themselves and the struggles they face in their culture
*To provide Dominican women the opportunity to grow in their faith and seek peace, wisdom, security, and guidance in a Biblical context
*To establish a community in which opportunities in ministry, career guidance and training, education, and entrepreneurship are readily available such that prevention, intervention, and a ‘way out’ are accessible
WAYS YOU CAN HELP:
We hope that you choose to walk alongside our mission as we walk alongside these women in whatever hardships they face! There are several ways you can show your support: sending encouraging words to the staff as they face many challenges, supporting and sharing our social media, giving financially through the website so that we can begin our mission and maintain it, and most importantly by praying for our staff and the women we will be serving.
