PROVIDING HOPE AND HOMES TO THE POOREST IN THE
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 

Learn More About The Samaritan Foundation

For over thirty years, we have come alongside the Dominican Republic’s poorest communities to provide them the gift of a better life.

Our Goal, Vision & Commitment

We’ve been working in the Dominican for over 30 years building village projects to help the extremely poor there have access to shelter, education, church facilities and medical treatment. These projects include homes, schools, clinics and complete villages.

GET INVOLVED

Any impact made through our efforts would not be possible if not for the prayer and financial donations that are faithfully and generously contributed to us. Choose from one of our many ways to support this mission, as specifically or broadly as you choose.

BE INSPIRED

Volunteer, Participate, or Donate

We are frequently told stories of how people were affected by the work of The Samaritan Foundation in the Dominican Republic. The hope that is found within these stories is what drives us to do all that we do, and we hope these stories encourage you to join us in this mission.
