How we work
The mission of Village12 is to identify, develop and implement need-based sustainable projects, as cost-efficiently as possible. Our first community is in Muñoz a community outside Puerta Plata, Dominican Republic. Within Muñoz, there are three bateys, sugarcane worker camps, consisting of about 2,700 Haitian immigrants. These immigrants were brought to Dominican Republic to work on the sugarcane fields. But the company went under in 2008, leaving thousands of Haitians out of work, with no national identity, little education and poor health and living conditions. Learn more about the bateys and the history of the Dominican Republic sugarcane industry.
Our strategy can be divided into 4 parts:
Overview
Understanding the problems, theories and goals for each of the 12 areas of community.
Assessments
Identifying the developmental gaps of the community and designing projects to address those gaps.
Projects
Projected outputs, costs, descriptions and required manpower for researched projects.
Volunteer Program
Implementing projects by training a local workforce.
